Not sure if I should've sent this to the developer's list.

I've got some scripts that build story nodes from plaintext files. The 
files, unfortunately, have linebreaks in bizarre places. Drupal handles the 
paragraphs correctly when converting to HTML, but I would like to remove 
entirely the piece that converts linebreaks to '<br />' tags.

I had assumed that this was taking place in "function 
_filter_autop($text)" in filter.module, but after removing every 
preg_replace call that involved '<br />' tags, (e.g., "$chunk = 
preg_replace('|<br />\s*|', "\n\n", $chunk);") from that function, I found that drupal was still 
inserting the unwanted linebreaks.

Can someone please tell me where this is happening in drupal? I've been 
grepping myself silly trying to find it.
