Report output on one Line, without new line (cariage return)

Question

Hello I use a user defined report with style plsql. The output is with many dbms_output.put_line and is displays in only one line. May I ask you to get the output on more the one line. For eatch dbms_output I wont to have a new line (cariage return). Many thanks for help in advance

In the body of the report, I used HTML tags to control the appearance.
For example, to see what database features you have used in your database today, the following code works well:
begin
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
dbms_output.put_line('<PRE>');
for rc in ( select output from
   table(dbms_feature_usage_report.display_text)
           ) loop
   dbms_output.put_line(rc.output);
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line('</PRE>');
end; This yields the following output
DB FEATURE USAGE report for
DB Name         DB Id     Release    Total Samples Last Sample Time 
ABCPROD        900004321 10.2.0.1.0             78 09-Oct-09 18:29:17
DB Feature Usage Summary                       DB/Release: ABCPROD/10.2.0.1.0
-> This section displays the summary of Usage for Database Features.
-> The Currently Used column is TRUE if usage was detected for
-> the feature at the last sample time.
                                          Curr-                                
                                          ently Detected    Total Last Usage   
Feature Name                              Used    Usages  Samples    Time      
Automatic SQL Execution Memory            TRUE        78       78 10/09/09 18:29
Automatic Segment Space Management (syste TRUE        78       78 10/09/09 18:29
etc.However if you comment the lines with the beginning and terminating tags for preformatted text, then you get output confined to one line that starts out like:
DB FEATURE USAGE report for DB Name DB Id Release Total Samples Last Sample Time ------------ ----------- and you'll have to scroll to the right or figure how you want to break it up -- That's too much work.
My configuration:
