Description

Author: pr4tiklahoti

Description:
As of now, as splitting is done on '\n\n', some units contain a mix of headers and text when a newline is not present in the old translations after the header.

i.e, Observed translation unit:

Some header

Dummy content dummy content dummy content

Expected output:

Unit 1: == Some header ==
Unit 2: Dummy content dummy content dummy content

Thus, headers need to be split from the content in such cases for improving alignment.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Changing the bug summary. Sorry for using the phrase "aligned correctly". I didn't mean it that way as alignment goes hand in hand with the correctness of source units when they were marked for translation. That is something I will be taking care of in Step 1 anyway - ensuring that a newline is present after the section header :)

Ok, I think that was the summary of the bug I had asked you to file, but we had not understood each other on the meaning; I filed bug 66162 with a stub of description of what I thought this bug was about.
