Hi dev, We decided that spaces are meaningfull in XWiki 2.0 syntax with some exception for lisibilities issue for lists and headers. With embedded documents, the need for this appear for almost all standalone blocks (tables, macros, etc.). For example in: * list item 1 ((( | cell1 | cell2 ))) * list item 2 the table will not be recognized because of the spaces before the "|" that make the parser think it's a "|" in a paragraph and not a table. We could add another exception for tables lke lists and header but I would prefer to define a rule about all kind of standalone blocks. WDYT ? Here is my +1
