Re: [Docutils-users] Force line breaks

The pseudoxml writer shows that the intention of your RST code is
correctly parsed:

This is what the RST "really means". How it gets turned into HTML/LaTeX
is subjective; you can use many stylesheets or even HTML trees for HTML,
and many document types for LaTeX. You might need to configure/tweak
either writer for your purposes.

Cheers, Bram
