Bug description

Each module has an html file, like libref/Arg.html. In this file there a link to the types, like "Module Arg" which links to libref/type_Arg.html.
In 4.02.3 the html code has several [br] tags to force a newline.
In 4.03 these [br] tags are missing.

This happens in all created files by ocamldoc.

Its appearently broken upstream as well.

Steps to reproduce

Compare these two URLs:

http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml-4.02/libref/type_Arg.html
vs.
http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml-4.03/libref/type_Arg.html

Looks like mantis translates the html tags into real html.

My report is about the "br" html tags.

I would guess that
#6341
af4063e
are causing this regression.

See #798 for a potential fix and some analysis of the origin of the regression.

Fixed in 4.04 by merging the above GPR.
