Hi,
We need to decide if we want to keep the "\\" syntax since now
newlines are significant.
There are two use cases I can see:
1) If we want to allow users to enter empty paragraphs (using \\):
some para
\\
still the same para
another para
If the rational is "We escape the new line" I would prefer to use
"~"
instean of "\\" since our escaping character is "~" now.
We need one way to handle 1) and 2) which is a way to force a line
break. Having 2 solutions is complex and not intuitive.
Ok so it's not a new line escaping it's about adding a line break
between two new lines.
In addition it's creole-compatible.
