## Description

This plugin changes the WordPress’s native formatting rules to keep the numbers 
of the line breaks you wrote.
 It adds <br /> tags as many as line breaks in posts,
comments, or both, even if the line was vacant. You can change the settings below
in the admin panel. For example: you can choose to add <p> tags for wrapping the
paragraphs or not.

#### Settings

You can choose settings below.

 1. Choose the target area: in posts, comments, or both(default).
 2. Choose the breaking tag format: <br />(default) or <br>.
 3. Choose the tag which the paragraphs will be wrapped with: <p> tag(default) or none.
 4. Shortcodes that you want to exclude from <p> tag wrapping.
     This doesn’t work if
    you choose “none” in option #3. Default is only “caption” but you can set multiple
    shortcodes separating “|”. Ex. “caption|map”

#### Attention

This plugin doesn’t work with the Visual Editor, so far.

#### For Japanese users
