Hi devs, We have to make a decision about that.
So here are the proposals: 1) remove the block leading and trainling spaces * The main goal is to make source formatting for tables for example more readable 2) make the spaces inside paragraph non meaningfull * Meaning an HTML like behavior where multiple spaces give one space 3) in case of 1) or 2) use ~<space> as non breaking space WDYT ? +0,5 for 1) it's not critical for me but i'm not against it and we already decided to remove space before list item, headers etc. -0 for 2) I don't see the need for that and it's a lot easier for the parser to make spaces meaningfull (what to do when you have "test ** bold**" and things like that) +1 for 3) On Sat, Feb 28, 2009 at 15:44, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > This is our last chance to change this behavior.
