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. In addition it's creole-compatible.
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.
Thanks
