Re: [xwiki-users] line breaks
Hi, all, HELP! Two of my sites, swrrg.xwiki.com and sbnprinceton.xwiki.com are displaying error messages on top menu bar, after the upgrade... Why? Wei-hsing -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: wangwh@att.net
Hi, Ludovic, One of my sites, http://swrrg.xwiki.com is displaying big area error messages. It was fine last time I saw it. Is this caused by upgrade? Wei-hsing

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.

Hi All,
Does any find that the way line breaks are handled are a bit counter intuitive. For example, if I enter:
line1 line2
you get:
line1line2
so to get results that you would normally expect, you would have to do something like:
line1<br/> line2<br/>
which is pretty ugly. I thought I can live with it but it's starting to bug me too much.
Suggestions?

The problem is due with a recent change which restored taking into account some preferences stored in the Space Preferences in some cases. And there was something wrong in your Main Space preferences (some styles without a style tag) on your first site (wsrrg) On sbnprinceton it was just the XWiki Preference Web Menu which had something wrong (but nothing to do with the upgrade I think) Ludovic wangwh@att.net a écrit :
