as far as i can see new lines (or <br>) are not added. it is a shame
however that enscript does not use CSS, but straight html formatting.

I haven't been able to get LXR to work so far (just not enough time to
much with it), but I guess a problem there might be (depending on how
codestriker and LXR interact), supoose the actual code has html like
(or even html) passages embedded. It will be a challange to
distinguish between the enscript added and the original html.

again, thanks for considering this. please let me know if there is
anything specific i may be able to help out in.
