I'm afraid it is a "feature" of poxml and the regular podebconf tools. The reason that the text in your example is one string is that it is all included in a single <para>. > I did not find a readymade program for indenting xml, but I could > write some python code to make the above indented sensibly.

We will then also need to find a way to cleanly include it in the current scripts used when building the manual. The POT files are created in scripts/update_pot using poxml. We could probably easily add a formatting script as a kind of post-processing script after poxml has been executed. The PO files are updated in scripts/update_po using a simple: msgmerge -q -U --backup=simple $PO $POT Not sure how that may have to be changed to prevent reformatting. Cheers, FJP
