They will get a blank line if they hit Enter inside the DBT editor. But if
they were not at the end of a line and the hit Enter once, they start a new
line wit no other effects. In a long running heading, this can be a
desirable thing. And the quick way to get a [l] code is ctrl-L.

I suspect that people still hit the enter key when they visually see that
they are at the end of the line, rather than letting a natural wrap take
place. I was getting two skipped lines.
