Hi, This is our last chance to change this behavior. We've found several places where having meaningful spaces are counter-productive: * in table cells since we can't align table anymore. For example: |= column1 |= column2 | this is some para | second column | hello | world (not sure this will be rendered nicely in mail but you see what I mean) * in scripts since having meaningful spaces prevents us from aligning velocity or groovy scripts. For ex we can't write: #if (....) #if (...) do something # end #end To see a better example have a look at http://tinyurl.com/ahz669 What I think users real want are meaningful new lines but I see cons overweighting pros for having meaningful white spaces. Thus I'm think we should strip whitespaces at beginning and end of lines including for line breaks. I'm slightly less sure for multiple spaces between words but even there I think we could strip them have users use {{{ }}} to put a non breaking space for ex (or introduce a {{space/}} macro or another special syntax although I'd rather we don't introduce a new syntax). WDYT? Thanks -Vincent http://xwiki.com http://xwiki.org http://massol.net
