[Qgis-tr] Translation of interface HTML help strings, do I need to keep all the breaklines?

[Eduardo Gonzalez]

I found the same situation and decided to remove them... I thought that
they were unnitentioned break lines since as Alexandre says those are
ignored when creating the docs. I hope it is not a problem, for example
when the pdf documentation is created?
