I have a suggestion. Take the document you sent me, and view it as html in
sy, lynx. (most web browsers will ignore all the other tags. Then view
it in abiword. the html will look double-spaced. This is NOT how it
looks in abiword. Then edit the file by hand, and remove the <p> tags,
and add <br /> tags in place of the </p> tags. Then view it again as
html. You will see that it looks like the abiword display. If we wanted
consitency of markup, we would use <p></p> the way we did before.
However, what we want (AFAIK) is consitency of appearance across all
exported formats. Thus, <br /> tags do the job, and <p> tags don't.
