Hi Frank, On Apr 10, 2012, at 2:30 PM, Frank Fischer wrote: When we created the XWiki Syntax 2.0 we decided that all characters should be meaningful so if you put a newline it's going to be rendered. Could you explain the problem you have with it? You say your lines can get quite large. But whatever editor you're using, it's usually going to wrap them so that they fit on your screen. Now if you really want this behavior you could use the {{velocity}} macro which supports filters (see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Velocity+Macro+Filter). For example: {{velocity filter="html"}} line one still line one {{/velocity}} I agree that we could easily refactor this in a more generic macro independent of scripting languages. For example something like: {{filter name="html"}} line one still line one {{/filter}} Would that answer your need? We could decide to escape the last char as you suggested too. I'm not sure about this though but why not. It would need a vote since it's changing the current syntax. Also it could only be implemented in XWiki Syntax 2.2 since we keep backward compatibility for all syntaxes. Let us know what would work for you. Thanks -Vincent

Thank you both for your quick answers! http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XRENDERING-167 really is my problem.

A macro that only escapes the newlines but preserves all the markup for the renderer might be a solution. {{filter name="escapeNewlines"}} ... line one ~ still line one second line ... {{/filter}} But i am new to XWiki (but wrote a lot of private code for JSPWiki) so i don't know if this is possible.

Hello, I don't really understand need of velocity macro in you use-case. Personally, when I want a new line in list, table ..., I used ((( ))) Then you have: * [[Platform (Features]>>http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/]] - [[Component Module>>http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Componen… ))) * [[Writing XWiki components>>http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Writing… - [[GitHub>>https://github.com/xwiki]]((( ))) Same result, there are always many path for same result :-D Regards, Arnaud. 2012/4/10 Frank Fischer &lt;frank(a)jcpsim.org&gt;rg>:
