[sword-devel] diatheke plain output - line breaks missing?

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey guys,
	Thanks for the patch.  I think there is some information that is 
lacking in the discussion:

The *plain.cpp filters are primarily used in the engine as 'strip' 
filters.  These are filters which get called before performing a search 
on a verse buffer.  They are intended to prepare verse text for 
searching.  If you are looking for a 'render' filter which outputs end 
user readable ascii-only markup ("[]{}//", etc), then these do not 
exist.  Strip filters are the closest thing and would be a good starting 
point if you want to add a new FMT_ render type.

Hope this helps.

	-Troy.
