[Orgmode] Re: Blank lines in literal html

[Wanrong Lin]

Finally, I decided to learn some elisp debugging techniques and as a 
practice, it seems I found the bug and fixed it with this patch (against 
org.el in 5.16b)

          (insert line "\n")
          (while (and lines
              (get-text-property 0 'org-protected (car lines)))

I am not completely sure whether this is the right fix, but so far the 
output looks OK to me.

Can Carsten take a look of it and see whether it is OK to check this 
into the next release? Thanks a lot.
