Yes, this was the same error I noticed, I thought it was a bug in
Konqueror...

Actually I just translate the line break with another line break

You're right but it is a little bit harder to generate it like this,
unfortunately...
I have to think about it...

Actually the problem also arises because I use <pre></pre> where line
breaks (I mean \n characters) are interpreted like that... what if I
used <br>? I mean, do you think that the following solution would be
better (without using <pre>)?

<span class="comment">// verwendete Waehrung<br>
</span>  <span class="keyword">protected</span> Currency myCurrency;<br>

  <span class="comment">// zu zahlender Betrag<br>
</span>  <span class="keyword">private</span> IntegerValue
toPayValue;<br>

  <span class="comment">// gezahlter Betrag<br>
</span>  <span class="keyword">private</span> IntegerValue
paidValue;<br>
