Hi Alexandre,

What do you mean by "break line characters", to you mean "<br/>" in
html? Or "\n" aka normal linebreaks in a string?

Because I think the second one are indeed ignored IF the text area will
become html (not always used).

In the first case I think the only way to know is to have a look into
the dialog/widget that the text is part of.  I could think about an
option that a dev wants to add some whitespace or newlines in between
two chunks of text.

Sorry I do not have a clearer answer, maybe somebody else can?
Maybe better ask this on the dev list, because those are the people who
write the actual source strings...
