Any ideas why when I export using the RTF export templates I would lose all the line breaks in the background tags?

In other words, I end up with one giant paragraph instead of many smaller paragraphs. That happens for each tag. So the background tag creates one big paragraph, as does tactics, etc.

That's why BACKGROUND, APPEARANCE, etc. are containers. The contents of the container are swapped in for any line breaks.

For example, for HTML output, you would (likely) use the following:

<!--BACKGROUND--><br><!--/BACKGROUND-->
