css - Line break in :after pseudo-element content lost when pasted into editor -


below well-known method add line break using :after pseudo-element:

<!doctype html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>     <title></title>     <style>         .br:after {             content: '\a';             white-space: pre;         }     </style> </head> <body>      <span class="br">line 1</span>     <span class="br">line 2</span>     <span class="br">line 3</span>     <span class="br">line 4</span>  </body> </html> 

the problem when html content copied , pasted browser external editor, e.g. notepad or word, line breaks lost , text above looks as

line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 

any workarounds?

if want each span element appear on line of own, can set just

.br { display: block; } 

if want have line break after span, while letting go same line preceding content, i’m afraid there’s no solution. clumsy workaround, include visible character in generated content , search , replace in target program replace line break.
