Exploding on a string such as "<br /"> may not be effective. Many textual source code files never heard of "<br /"> or its variants, such as "<br/>". The idea is to reproduce logical lines in such a way that the resulting code is usable as reproduced, when copied intact. Since languages vary in this respect, it means reproducing the text in a way that will be acceptable to the target interpretation.
