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.

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.

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 Vincent Massol wrote:

I think the wysiwyg editor does support adding new lines.

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