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 http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3107?focusedCommentId=37707&page=com...
I put it slightly unclear, I was referring the switch use case. People that use the wiki and the wysiwyg interchangeable. Script authors would use the wiki only, I think in which case everything it would be fine. Still, I completely agree that if we can do something to avoid it, we should. I was only wondering if it's a frequent enough use case to deserve the tradeoff. (Not that it would really make a difference, but script content, if rendered properly in the <!--startmacro:--> comment, it will not be affected by the space stripping done when saving from the wysiwyg). Happy coding, Anca
Thanks -Vincent
