Re: Feature request: preserving plain list line breaks in exporting

[Wanrong Lin <wanrong.lin@gmail.com>]

Thanks. But "::"" does not as well as "\\" for numbered list (the 
numbers are gone with "::").

Actually, when I say "it is not as pretty as I want" in my last email, I 
meant the original ".org" text file is not pretty with either "\\" or 
"::" just for adding a line break for exporting. So ideally, I still 
prefer a configuration option to control the line break preservation.
