Log feature and formatting

Okay, having recently discovered the joy of regular expressions and how to automatically strip pages (and WHO, and + commands and...) out of my log files, here's my question:

Is there any way to add a blank line in the log file between output 'lines' from the MUSH? I don't want to log in HTML if I can avoid it, though it would neatly solve the issue. What I'd like to see is:

Lurkerbabe boogies on down.

I'm looking for something simple to add to the 'postamble' bit in the logging options window. I've tried several things, but no go so far.

I RP with folks who do majorly spammy poses (and am guilt myself), so the extra line breaks help for readability. And the sheer volume of text I generate makes editing by hand a b*tch.

Any suggestions?

The latest version has a "?" button in the log file setup window, which gives you a hint.

Put "%n" (percent sign, followed by lower case "n") in the Output Lines Postamble section. That will give you an extra line at the end of each output line.

Excellent! That was just the trick. Thanks a bunch, Nick! Looks like I need to download the newest update. :)
