I asked half years ago how to type a poem without typing \par the answer
I received basically is the same:
* {\catcode`\^^M=\active \def^^M{\hbox{}\par\parindent=0 pt}\parindent=0 pt%
* above line was from baronov@polyof.poly.edu with my modification, i.e.
* the two \parindent's.
Above macro is useful in typing poetry, address list etc which requires
short lines being single lines. However it has a small problem. The blank
is treated as a line even though it appears at the evry beginning of a
page. This problem is obvious when one uses two column style, then it looks
something like this:
-------Begining of a page-----------------------------
Tom's Mobil [second column]
Frank Mobil 34 Peter Ave
12 John St BlaBla, VA 23432
Anywhere, NY 12345
or
-------Begining of a page-----------------------------
Tom's Mobil
34 Peter Ave Frank Mobil
BlaBla, VA 23432 12 John St.
Anywhere, NY 12345
Any solution is greatly appreciated.
