Just to add another data point to this discussion: The
WikiCreole markup standard had (:linebreaks:) as the default
behavior up to version 0.3 of the standard.
This is terrific news. I'll take Creole a bit more seriously now.
I particularly liked the cited disadvantage of the change:
- requires additional markup in addresses and poetry
Yup, them's some showstoppers!
Actually, the need for linebreaks in addresses and poetry is exactly
what led me to using '\\' to mean 'line break' -- it's visually pretty
clean.
IIRC, I suggested it from what I've seen in LaTeX, so that should get its
share of the blame. OTOH, LaTeX might have been using it for poems :-)
