It seems the br & p topic is much more heated than I would have imagined.
Since it dose seem like people are on one side or the other, maybe the
simplest option would be to make it a site wide option that can be set in
the ControlPanel?
◎ Classic Mode [All linebreaks are created as br tags no p tags
are generated]
◎ MarkDown - Standard Mode [p tags are created on double line breaks, br
tags are made with double space + linebreak at the end of a sentence]
◎ MarkDown Mode + Creole linebreaks [p tags are created on double line
breaks, br tags are made where \\ are]
◎ MarkDown - No linebreak Mode [linebreaks are only made when you use a br
tag]
I do have one question though.
I assume it most not be easily possible but it seems like the ideal option
would be to have things like this:
Single line-breaks = br
Double line-breaks = p
if you wanted more than one br you would simply add a space:
[line-break]
[space][line-break]
this of course relies on something I've yet to ever figure out... Why do we
need a system that ignores single line breaks?
If you want paragraph that don't have line-breaks than the answer seems to
be to be simply not use line-breaks.
Last time I checked periods don't make line-breaks the
line-break character makes line-breaks.
The only time where single line-breaks create a mess is for styling and
other special cases:
@@background:red;
text block1
text block2
@@
which is where you really need a special system to null out a line-break
like like adding ^^ or // or ++ or &&
@@background:red;^^
text block1
text block2
@@^^
To me it seems like the need to remove single-line-breaks are the special
case rather than the other way around.

As for the other
I did notice that spans where created for single-line inline which is nice
in some case but in many cases at least for me I need spans to wrap around
a larger block of content.
Simple example:
@@background-color:red;display:inline-block;
text
text

@@
This of course gives p styles so isn't what we want.
<p style="background-color:red;display:inline-block;">text</p>
<p style="background-color:red;display:inline-block;">text</p>
<p style="background-color:red;display:inline-block;">text </p>
So how about the inline for the span?
@@background-color:red;display:inline-block;text
text
text
@@
Gives us a span output but nulls out all our <p>'s and with no <br />'s we
loss all notions of white space.
<p>
<span class="tw-inline-style"
style="background-color:red;display:inline-block;">text text text </span>
</p>
All and all very different than what I would have actually wanted:
<span style="background-color: red; display: inline-block;">
<p>text</p>
<p>text</p>
<p>text</p>
</span>
So I do very much think it's a needed component, to have a unique span
system that properly wraps around multi-lined content.
I may be biased to making transition easier for people who already use
Classic TiddilyWiki but it doesn't seem like the
{{Class{Content}}}
is being used by anything else in the new system, and logically makes sense
simply to carry it over as the syntax given that any other real variation
((Class(Content))) is simply aesthetics and in the long run only forces
people who use both TW5 and Classic to remember an odd difference, with no
true benefits.
