Inserting blank lines in roster output

[DarkHost]

I am trying to get a blank line to appear between each item (e.g., Tag Group, Option) that is displayed in the info block.

I can get the blank line between options by putting a return after the last line of text in the option description. But that does not get me a line between the Tag Group (which prints first) and the first option.

To fix this I tried putting {br} at the beginning of each option name. That properly formatted the output, but it caused the option names in the roster to appear as blanks (i.e., option names were not displayed in the roster).

Hi,


Arbitrary blank lines are not something that we currently let authors
insert into output. We're planning to add the capability to do this
in a limited fashion in version 3.2, but I'm not sure this would give
you what you want here. Why exactly do you want so many blank lines?

I think that the printed roster is more readable if each item is separated by a blank line -- YMMV. Here is an example of the information in the info block for a unit:


Special Abilities: Group Casting

Battle Axe (Attack Group 1):
AS: 8 RF: - PW: 6 RN: CA MAL: - Notes:
AS: 8 RF: - PW: 6 RN: CA MAL: - Notes:

Freezing Strike:
TN: PS(6) RF: 1 PW: - RN: Self MAL: - Notes: Cauterize; +2 PW
