Here's my code which the BreakElement does not appear to change the line break code used by the editor.
I also tried editor.BreakElement = "Br"
Dim editor
Set editor = New CuteEditor
editor.ID = "BodyofText"
editor.Text = BodyofTextValue
editor.ConfigurationPath = "CuteEditor_Files/Configuration/b2i.config"
editor.EditorBodyStyle = "font:normal 12px arial;"
editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "asp.css"
editor.EnableStripScriptTags = false
editor.BreakElement = "P"
editor.Draw()
Here is the editor's HTML output
<div></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
