Hi,
so, no solution to this issue ?
there's no syntax for that apart from using <br/>. What syntax would you expect? One reason there's no syntax is that it won't be simpler than html... :)
You can always create a velocity macro in yoru wiki, say {blankline} that internally outputs a <br/>.
People using this wiki are vp executives, they will not learn any macro... Sometime, they cut and paste some text from editors like word, this text includes some blank lines, they would not like to have to insert such formatting code manually ...
I think the wysiwyg editor does support adding new lines.
The team did a try two or three weeks ago with xwiki 1.0 beta 2 or 3. The wysiwyg was still not working (with any browser, even firefox) and there were some regressions. Do you know when a stable production version is expected ? If we commit the choice of xwiki, the goal is to deploy it on our platforms in the company, and for that we need a stable version.
As far as we know it's now working (except for those we know about: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa? reset=true&&type=1&pid=10010&resolution=-1&component=10041&sorter/ field=priority&sorter/order=DESC). We need your feedback if you have found some issues so that we can correct them. It would be nice if you could send us an email here on this list with the details of the problems you've found. Actually what would be even better would be if you could try out beta 5 (we'll release it next week). Beta 5 is supposed to be our last beta before we release RC1 so all tests users can do are most welcome. Thanks -Vincent

Maybe there are some other solution but then we need to understand why you need to insert several blank lines.
Thanks -Vincent

Hi Vincent,
thanks for you quick answer. However the issue was not to insert a line break, but to insert a "blank line" (what I called "skip a line"), and the following does not work (with two blank lines):
" My line 1.
My line2. " I get the same result as you, a line break, but no blank line ...
Thanks for your help,
François

Hi all,
we are currently deploying xwiki within our company. We use the last stable version, the same as the one used by ObjectWeb (0.9xxx). In this version we are using the WIKI Editor (the wysiwyg one is not running), but we have the following issue: in order to skip a line (to insert some line breaks), it is necessary to insert some "<br\>" HTML statements or some "\\" characters in the content.
XWiki recognizes a blank line as meaning a different paragraph. So the following should work just fine:
" My line 1.
My line2. "
The 2 lines should be displayed one under the other. However the following:
" My line1. My line2. "
Will be displayed on the same line when viewed.
In summary a blank line is how xwiki recognizes a different paragraph.
This is even not documented in the "help frame" on the right of the editor screen. This is a show stopper for us since we cannot ask our end users (people who will provide the content) to know this kind of syntax. Is there any turn around or any patch that could be used to cope with this issue ? We do not want to upgrade to the 1.0 beta version in a short term.
1.0 betas would definitely help as the WYSIWYG editor is much better in these versions and is the easiest to use for end users.
Thanks -Vincent
