Aurelio, you are the unpaid developer so you decide what to do with your own time, no question about that. This said, I've read that wiki page, and I think that almost all cases you worry about are more or less bogus, meaning "so extreme and seldom happening in practice that you could and should just ignore them". 1) I have NEVER felt a need for cross paragraph beautifiers. I would suggest that if one is needing them often, it's a sign that he or she isn't using paragraphs properly, that he never really understood what paragraphs are and how must be used. 2) Backward compatibility...one one hand, maybe the user base here is probably small and skilled enough to not make of this a real problem. Even so, what about a switch like --ignore_multiline_beautifiers? 3) at the same time, I **regularly** miss italic and bold beautifiers stretching across multiple CONSECUTIVE LINES of the same paragraph (as in "no white or emtpy lines in between"). I am convinced this is by far the most common case where lacking multiline beautifiers is a concrete, frequent problem. So, I'd vote for "please implement multiline beautifiers ONLY for "**", "//" inside the same paragraph, where "paragraph" means N (>=2) consecutive lines without empty or blank lines in between". Simply ignore all the other corner case mentioned in that wiki page. Again, this is a suggestion, of course, and I have no idea of how difficult my "single case" implementation would be. I'm just saying that I think you should simply ignore all those other cases and say so.
