CR LF

Well, that's true.  However, since the general case is extracting data
from a database and formatting it, I assumed that probably not enough
would be known about the data to predict the required format.

Clearly this approach is much more useful when rows from a relational
database are being formatted into large chunks of HTML.  Generally,
then, you know how many fields exist and where in the HTML they need
to go.
