Hi,
Suppose I have a plain list as the following:
* TODO Read books
1. [ ] Book 1
Note: blah blah blah
2. [ ] Book 2
Note: blah blah blah
When the above is exported to HTML, the line breaks after the "heading
line" of each list item are lost, so it becomes "Book1 Note: blah blah
blah", which does not look very nice to me. I know I can keep the line
breaks by inserting a blank line, like this:
* TODO Read books
1. [ ] Book 1
Note: blah blah blah
2. [ ] Book 2
Note: blah blah blah
Well, this will fix the export, but the text above looks ugly now,
especially when the "Note" part is very short.
Can we add some kind of option to control whether the line break after
the first line of a plain list item should be preserved in exporting? Or
maybe we can assume the line breaks should be preserved when
"org-cycle-include-plain-lists" is set to "t", since in that case we are
treating the plain list item kind of like a heading.
Note setting "org-export-preserve-breaks" does not meet my needs, since
that will preserve ALL breaks.
Thanks for giving the above a thought.

Try:
* TODO Read books
1. [ ] Book 1 \\
Note: blah blah blah
2. [ ] Book 2 \\
Note: blah blah blah
Or even:
* TODO Read books
1. [ ] Book 1 ::
Note: blah blah blah
2. [ ] Book 2 ::
Note: blah blah blah
plus CSS

The double back slashes works well (although that is not as pretty as I
want). Thank you!

For better controle of line height and paddings, I'd suggest to use the
`::' syntax and CSS for the <dt> and <dd> elements.
dd {font-weight:bold;margin-top:3em;}
dt {....}
Best,
Sebastian

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.

Does anyone know how to get something like \\ or :: to preserve line
breaks in the org file when using M-q to re format a list item? I
don't care so much about the export.
