Please remember that TW5 is a work in progress, evolving in the light of the feedback from the early users; things like this are not fixed. In fact, this is pretty much the first discussion that's taken place about this aspect. Right now, TW5 tries to emulate the behaviour of MarkDown with respect to paragraph handling. We can separate out some underlying options though: the first is whether to use <p> tags or <br/> tags. That is independent of the second issue: how to mark up the ends of paragraphs. So we could, for instance, stick with TW classic's behaviour of treating a single newline as a paragraph break, and still use <p> tags. One deeper issue is whether and how far to be influenced by MarkDown. The motivation for taking it into consideration is its popularly, of course, but there are other perspectives (eg http://www.wilfred.me.uk/blog/2012/07/30/why-markdown-is-not-my-favourite-language/ ). Anyhow, I hope TW5 continues to hold your interest, Best wishes Jeremy. > > On Saturday, May 11, 2013 2:13:05 AM UTC-7, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > >> Hi Arc >> >> TW classic couldn't generate proper HTML <p> paragraph tags, instead >> relying on <br>.
