Re: [xwiki-users] line breaks

The main reason why most Wiki Syntaxes are ignoring single line breaks and using a paragraph for double line breaks, if I remember well, is because textareas would scroll if you typed your text on a single line (see http://www.idocs.com/tags/forms/_TEXTAREA_WRAP.html). Therefore to make the text readable, you would type carriage return regularly, which thanks to the wiki syntax would be ignored. I agree that today all serious browsers wrap the text properly so this is not usefull anymore and counter intuitive. Wysiwyg also renders that unusefull. It's also not what people expect with their habits of Word Processor. What worried me is backwards compatibility and the way this would impact pages including scripting if we change the behavior to include a <br /> We could at least make it an option of the wiki and maybe even an option of the page.
