checkboxList failure in hardcopy if within a table

[Alex-Jordan]

parserCheckboxList (and perhaps other multiple more) uses $BR as the default separator between items. Something like that is necessary for the HTML output, but not necessary for TeX or PTX output. In TeX, the use of \item for each item naturally moves to a new line.

But worse, the use of $BR in hardcopy can cause a problem. For hardcopy, $BR makes \leavevmode\\\relax . And if the checkbox list is inside a table cell, this causes the hardcopy to fail to build.

I'm not sure exactly what the solution should be. Several options occur to me. One is that since a separator doesn't really make sense for TeX or PTX, to make it so the separator is just ignored in those output formats.

Note that I used the same method in the parserCheckboxList.pl macro that the parserRadioButtons.pl macro has always used for this, and I see that this is also an issue with the parserRadioButtons.pl macro.
