Hi,
In the rendering code we have several places where we've had to create
generic string manipulation classes/methods (for example a method to
remove a single NL at start and end of string).
I think it would be better to create one or several components for
these string manipulation methods (same as we have xwiki-xml for xml
manipulation).
The idea is that we should use existing framework as much as possible
(StringUtils from commons lang for ex) but when we cannot find an
existing framework to manipulate text then we would put it in xwiki-
text.
WDYT?
I don't know if this is really needed. StringUtils is supposed to be the
library for string manipulation. Isn't StringUtils.removeStart(content,
"\n") + StringUtils.chomp(content) enough?
If we just need a couple of methods on top of StringUtils, then I'd
rather not introduce a new component. Especially one that's as simple as
this one.
