I'm slightly lost, isn't that the very old issue we've been so arguing
about for
a while: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3802 ?
and I remember Marius' very strong position on keeping the current
behaviour
(are we talking about the same thing?).
Yes, XWIKI-3802 is one of the symptoms of an issue that XWIKI-4193 would
fix.

I
type in this one area on the document turns into a
link."

These are just a couple of examples I found right away, but I am sure
there
are other people confused about this issue.
Point taken. Can you or Guillaume open a JIRA issue?
* Enter at the start/end of a link moves the caret before/after the link
and then creates a new paragraph.
* Enter in the middle of a link breaks the link in two.
* The rest of the in-line styles (including bold, italic etc.) are
preserved on the new paragraph
* Shift+Enter acts as it does now: simply inserts a line break
This is the observed behavior of MS Word 2007.
How about, in this context, hitting enter at the
beginning / end of a bold,
italic, strikethrough, etc? Is this rule only for links or for any other
styling? (I agree that it's more annoying for links then for all others but
this
means adding a special rule for links...)
That's why at first I suggested changing the rule for all inline styles.
However Marius rightly suggested that we change it only for links. Links are
semantically different from styles, thus have to be treated differently
through a specific rule.
Guillaume
Happy coding,
Anca
