Hi Eraldo,
still, an example would have been useful, to generate more ideas.
In the absence of an example, a few more comments/ideas that have
not yet come up (unless I missed them..)
"\\" at the end of a line does also the right thing in HTML
export, i.e. it is converted to <br/>
Other possibilities to preserve line breaks include
1. the #+begin_verse...#+end_verse block
2. A #+begin_example ... #+end_example block
3. Putting the numbers into a table
4. Starting each line with ": " (also makes them end up in an
example block)
Cheers
