Just add this to your config.php

  $InlineReplacements["/&lt;&lt;/"] = "<br \>";  // << = <br>
  $HTMLLineBreak='<br />';
  $DoubleBrackets['/\\[\\[linebreaks\\]\\]/e'] =
'$GLOBALS["HTMLLineBreak"]="<br />"';
  $DoubleBrackets['/\\[\\[nolinebreaks\\]\\]/e'] =
'$GLOBALS["HTMLLineBreak"]=""';


Now you have control of this behaviour.  [[linebreaks]] turns it on.
[[nolinebreaks]] turns it off.
