Staroffice 5.2: search for paragraph + replace with linefeed?

a $ in html is just shown in the page
also \n is shown in the page (there is no line feed in html specification)
a paragraph element in html is <p>something</p>
a break (new line) element in html is <br>
what is shown on the screen (for <p>something</p> and <br>, one or to or
even 100 'line forwardings') is part of the html user agent (Browser), an
html author has no possibility to affect this behavior.
and by the way: this group is called alt.os.linux.suse, not
staroffice.com.support.<something> and maybe there is someone who can help
you.
