I would like to have MT do a for each line break, you can have that to a limited degree with the Convert Line Breaks option but that will automatically enclose my paragraphs in tags which just isn't working for me on this site.

Does anyone know a way around this, be in mod or code or what have you?

Oh and I suppose the topic title is misleading a bit, but it's because I'm looking to have double line breaks for my paragraphs over the paragraph tags.

You can disable line breaks for each entry, then the p tags aren't placed around the body.

If you wanted to hack it so that two breaks are inserted instead, it's in Util.pm, but things are goofy then.  What is the problem that it's not working?  You can control paragraph margins with css if it's just that the spaces are too large in between paras.

Can't you define a macro for this also using the macro plugin? I read that somewhere...with code for it...was it in the plugin forum?

format breaks plugin?
