Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Do we keep "\\" in xwiki syntax 2.0?

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. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
