In principle it should be feasible.

For example, this works:

   \catcode `^^^^2028\active\relax
   \newcommand*{^^^^2028}{\\}
   \begin{document}
   \begin{quotation}
    Here is a short made-up verse^^^^2028
    neither good, nor bad, nor anything worse.
   \end{quotation}
   \end{document}

But I don't think you want to be inserting the 8 characters
for  ^^^^2028  everywhere in your source.


I've been unable to use  Character Palette  to insert
the UTF8 triple for  ^^^^2028, then test a file with that.

Using the 'Insert' button just gives the usual <newline>
character (i.e., hex: 000A)
--- check this using the command-line  od  (Octal Dump) utility.
This is even after switching the document font to Lucida Grande
(which supposedly has a character at  Ux2028 ) or Code2000.
In fact with Code2000 I cannot insert anything.

So I need to know a good method to insert the correct bytes,
to be able to do anymore testing with XeTeX.


Hope this helps,

	Ross
