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

Other related question: Does the following generate 5 NL or 3 NL? Hello \\ \\ world my +1 for 5 NLs meaning that the user would have to write "Hello\\\ \world" if we he wants 3 NLs only. -Vincent On Jan 7, 2009, at 4:59 PM, Vincent Massol wrote:

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.

Thanks
