The latter, with blank lines in the source file representing
functional lines in the interlinear. That way you can slurp
the source file, then split it into functional lines on
/\n{2,}/, then each line into lexemes on /\n/ and finally
each lexeme into <div>s on /(?<!\\);/ -- note the backslash
escape for semicolons that aren't delimiters!

I would take precaution for blank lines containing
whitespace by first running an s/^\s+$//gm; on the
source, since I was bitten by that the other day when I
split on /\n{2,}/!

WRT the hidden separator at the end of each <div> in the
output as per my last post it should be a different
character for the <div> at the end of each functional line,
say &nbsp;&mdash&nbsp; within each line and semicolon at the
end. They could of course be set with GetOpt::Long
options...

Gotta cram now...
