It appears that when DDOC sees $(BR) it outputs the macro expansion followed by a new-line. Thus when I have the BR macro defined as BR = <br/> we get "<br/>\n" in the output file, which really messes up <pre>...</pre> blocks.

A work around for this effect was to define a new macro to use in preformatted blocks;

  NL =

so that $(NL) outputs just "\n". Not very consistent but it works.

That bug is certainly a pain, and is fixed now.
