Ok, if I understand you correctly, the problem is when the text is output in your HTML document, then the line breaks are gone. This is because in HTML line breaks (like all white space) is collapse into one space, so.
You should be using a CDATA section for the description data so that any offending characters are ignored by XML parsers.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
