Maybe I'm missing some requirement, but what if you just used HTML "<pre>" tags. You can still use other HTML for formatting within the <pre> tags but it'll pay attention to carriage returns/line feeds and spaces without having to use <br>s

For example, if you did the following... is it what you need or what's wrong with it still?

<pre>
<h1>This is a title</h1>

This is a Book paragraph.
This is another book paragraph.
This is yet another book paragraph, but it's not indented with spaces,
because user wrote it in OpenOffice.
==

==
This is a web paragraph.

This is another web paragraph.

This is yet another web paragraph, which is indented with spaces for
some unknown reason.
==
</pre>

= = = Original message = = =

Task:
Create a script that converts text into HTML with paragraphs.

Problem:
Input text could use the book notation, as well as the web notation,
plus it can contain HTML.

<h1>This is a title</h1>

This is a Book paragraph.
This is another book paragraph.
This is yet another book paragraph, but it's not indented with spaces,
because user wrote it in OpenOffice.

==

This is another web paragraph.

This is yet another web paragraph, which is indented with spaces for
some unknown reason.

Output text should be correctly formatted without using lots of br's and
&nbsp;'s. Doing so manually is not a problem, I would just use <p> for
web paragraphs, and <p class="book"> for book paragraphs. However,
formatting such text with a scrip is very difficult. Does anyone knows a
good exaple of such script?
