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
2) Using \\ in scripts
For example:
#set ($var = "hello\\world")
$var
note that a possibility is to use the following which is less nice IMO:
#set ($var = "hello${xwiki.nl}world")
So here's my +1 to keep "\\" syntax.
I'd rather use a different thing, since \\ causes problems, and it can't
be used as a java escape.
