Dictionary: Double newlines are converted to single newline

Hi,

I noticed in the .8 beta that the newlines in the user dictionaries I loaded after the .8 update have been converted from EAB1's to the new format, but all double newlines have turned into single newlines:

(Between a German sentence and a new Chinese sentence, there were double newlines. What it used to look like:

)

If the new renderer allows it, what would perhaps be most ideal would be if Pleco encountered a double newline, a half-line spacing between the lines would be inserted. So instead of a full empty line, one would see a half empty line. I feel that may be great for visually structuring a custom definition without losing too much screen estate.

Do you think that might make sense?

Thanks,

Shun

This one is actually about paragraph spacing being set to zero in dictionary definitions, which is necessary now (they'd look weird otherwise) but we're going to tweak / fix once we do some reformatting work on our dictionary databases. (probably going from 0 to 0.5 em or something along those lines, as you suggest)
