A:
The normal RegEx to find a repeating linebreak is "[\r\n]+" which means at least 1 linebreak. This will match any number of linebreaks following directly after each other.

Will not match "empty lines" that have a tab or other spaces on them, and will also match ALL line breaks, not just multiple consecutive lines of them.

A:
/(\s*\n){2,}/
Since some platforms use \r\n as their line-break, and some use only \n this will search for
successive strings of whitespace (which \r should also be considered) followed by \n, and ensure to match 2 of them.
Firebug console test:
>>> /(\s*\n){2,}/.exec("<tr>\r\n<td> \r\n \t \r\n \n\n<center>");
[" \r\n \r\n \n\n", "\n"]
