;; Don't no, if it's the best way, just one.

(defun newline-after-html-break ()
  "Insert a newline after any <br> in html source code"
  (interactive "*")
  (save-excursion 
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (while (re-search-forward "<br>" nil 'move 1)
      (replace-match "<br>\n"))))


(define-key html32-mode-map (kbd "M-q") 'newline-after-html-break)


;; Tried this, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?


;; (defun set-paragraph-function ()
;;   " "
;;   (interactive)
;;   (if (eq major-mode 'html32-mode)
;;       (setq fill-paragraph-function 'newline-after-html-break)))

Thanks. 

As the questions themselves seems worthwhile responding:

Commands `mark-paragraph' and `narrow-to-region'

exists already.

Nothing to be written so far.

Gene,

I would concur with Andreas, use replace-string or read the manual.
Help from this group is not to be assumed when you have an attitude
like yours.
