Re: [docbook] HTML BR tags

Hi Dave,

Docbook is about marking up content, not about layout. The layout is 
done in the XSL transformation step. If you're not satisfied with the 
default layout, you'll have to do your changes/extensions via an XSL 
customization layer. Check those references for more info on XSL 
customizations:
