Bookart not shown if it isn't followed by <BR> statement

In Beautiful books runes when you read a scroll aren't shown. Just a blank scroll page. I believe it works in vanilla, judging by mod's screenshots.

An example of text for a scroll from that mod:

<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="3" FACE="Magic Cards"> <IMG SRC="Bigscroll.dds" WIDTH="225" HEIGHT="225">

This can be fixed by adding a
statement at the end, so:

<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="3" FACE="Magic Cards"> <IMG SRC="Bigscroll.dds" WIDTH="225" HEIGHT="225"><BR>

makes if work, but should that be the case if it works without that in vanilla engine?
