Description:

The NL decorator {nl} is needed to produce a new line before an entry - producing an empty entry before it. We can achieve that with the EMPTY decorator - writing something like gap {empty},, as our current grammar does not allow for empty entries without text - so we add the text ‘gap’, and the entry gets translated to an empty one, none the less.

We have implemented the NLCOMMENT decorator, that does something similar for a comment. For example, here is a comment, that will have an empty entry before it - some comment {nlcomment},.

What I propose is that, it would be only logical to have the same style of new line-inducing decorator for regular entries.

We can also introduce decorators like {nl2} and {nl3}, for 2 or 3 new lines.
