dirk, already responded to this one.

a <div> tag may create a new line by itself.so,  if the rich text
field in the planner has a <div>, plus it has a <br> tag, you could
end up with a couple of line breaks in the planner.
but the printed notes only support <br> tags (if |safe is enabled that
is) and also they don't really support rich formatting like colors and
fonts.

this means that the printed dive notes will look much more simplistic
and for printing we don't really support the rich formatting that the
default planner notes introduce.
