Chris et al,
So, for example, I use "\\ " often to insert line breaks in dokuwiki
list
items, such as:
*One, first line\\ One, second line
It seems to me that this wouldn't be very intuitive to do otherwise,
since
we'd never know when the new line was intentional and when
unintentional. In
general, I figure that if I still have to learn syntax to do _some_
things,
I may as well use it for _all_ things.
You've confused me here. I understand the reasons for not encouraging
the use of line-breaks as new lines in the xhtml. Often its used to
achieve a particular appearance on the page, not as the correct
representation of content. Encouraging users to write a paragraph all
on one line and letting the browser to the wrapping, both in the edit
window and with the rendered output has a lot going for it.
However, I'm also always interested in the expansion possibilities of
dokuwiki. Would there be other practical uses for the hook you
mention?
Not that I can think of right now. But then I didn't think of all the
uses of the action plugin system.
