https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48290 --- Comment #2 from Nicolas Raoul nicolas.ra...@gmail.com --- Same for TAB characters, which are shown as ➞ TAB characters have no meaning in wikicode, and I can't imagine anyone entering them for any purpose (plus they are difficult to enter in an HTML form). I have never seen a case where they are intended (please point me to any example if I am mistaken). I personally think TABs are a case where silent stripping would be acceptable. --- Newline characters are more debatable, because some people use them to make wikicode more readable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48290 --- Comment #1 from James Forrester jforres...@wikimedia.org --- (In reply to comment #0) Single newlines have no effect on the way a wiki page is displayed. So they should be ignored in a WYSIWYG editor. Example: Third line at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Content_Management_Interoperability_Services#Specification_progress_. 26_TC_members Yeah, this is a bit of a mess. In wikitext (except in some circumstances like pres), \n is a whitespace character, rendered as either a space or as nothing depending on the things around it, but \n\n is /pp. We could: * Silently strip non-conformant wikitext syntax like this on ingest, but this would mean that VisualEditor would not play well with other, wikitext-based users. * Show the newline as a line break in VisualEditor - in a way that (a) doesn't look like a new paragraph/context has started, and (b) doesn't look like br /s will look, either, and in some way conveys the fact that it's different. * (Current behaviour) Show the newline as a special kind of character in VisualEditor - in a way that (a) doesn't look like a 'real' new line, because it isn't. * Silently not show the new line as such (but instead as… a space?), which is prone to having users accidentally alter them without intention, again causing problems for intermixed VisualEditor and wikitext editor sessions.
