Mario, I would expect a dot at the beginning to simply do this.
<p>This text is wrapped because there was a "dot" at the beginning of the line</p> To me this is a very valuable tool for use in my own wikis, not only for massaging imported content but helping me structure notes as I compose them. It would be easy to remove all leading periods if required and if we copy the resultant html for reuse it is good for sharing. I want a bespoke setting here, not a change to the fundamental markup standards, and if possible offer the option for other bespoke leading charater markup. eg someone may like to indicate sections or chapters etc... with their own markup, basically allowing a markup character to be defined use standard html tags, tags not already catered for in wikitext or widgets. Perhaps you are not interested but It would help me (and I believe others would like it) a lot. But the question is why is the addition of such bespoke markup not possible?, from what I can see programmatically it should be trivial, perhaps even entries in a data tiddler to define them. With an Editor toolbar button I can turn all lines into paragraphs buy, select all, click, prepending the lines with a period. One way to test the value is to copy a big block of multi paragraph lorum ipsum then use a editor toolbar item to select all lines and prepend with ";" Empty `<P>` tags collapse to one blank line between paragraphs and indicating the "pre-wrapped" line starts helps and editor review the layout, especially for content sourced elsewhere. Which often contains multiple blank lines, using this they all collapse to a single blank line when rendered. In rapid note taking I use ";" and ":" a lot, and this would complement these by providing automatically managed paragraphs. There is no non-bold equivalent to ";". If you have another character or markup pattern in mind happy to consider. But I realy, realy, want this, given my personal organiser, my data imports, note taking in courses etc.. Material I add tends to go nowhere but in my own personal wikis. And yes, for some people this will satisfy there frustration with the line breaks.
