Hi devs,
We have to make a decision about that.
So here are the proposals:
1) remove the block leading and trainling spaces
* The main goal is to make source formatting for tables for example
more readable
2) make the spaces inside paragraph non meaningfull
* Meaning an HTML like behavior where multiple spaces give one space
3) in case of 1) or 2) use ~<space> as non breaking space
WDYT ?
-0, the users will blame the WYSIWYG for messing up their nicely
formatted table/lists/etc. when switching between the editors. This will
make the WYSIWYG unusable for a wiki syntax user.
1/ this problem was there already and, if we use meaningful spaces, we only get
rid of the problem because users wouldn't be able to nicely format the
tables/lists/etc at all. So meaningful spaces means that you're taking away the
possibility of nicely formated wiki syntax even to users that use _only_ wiki
syntax and therefore could take advantage of it.
2/ as it was mentioned in a discussion we once had with Vincent, I'm wondering
how many wiki syntax users will there be out there once we get the new wysiwyg
strong enough. Otherwise put, is this use-case frequent enough?
Everyone using the velocity or HTML macro are users of this use case.
Right now it's not possible to write velocity scripts that can be
read. Again see
