Its only potential use is in making the wikitext more easily readable, which doesn't seem important enough to warrant just a weird edge-case. Any formal spec is going to end up breaking things, that can't really be helped (unless we just write down a spec for the current behaviour, bugs and all, which sounds like a lost opportunity to me). _______________________________________________ Wikitext-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitext-l
