First off all: *Whitespace matters* - but not always!
That's one reason, that makes advanced TW UI based syntax "a nightmare".
That's a very early decision, which makes sense for "plain text" writers.
-> Standard users.
But for developers, it makes live much harder, since you basically need to
know the parsing rules, by heart. Which is kind of impossible.
In "user-mode" separating 2 paragraphs only needs 2 "carriage returns" and
a paragraph will be created, which is simple.
Have a look at the "Wikitext link from the other post"
Parsing the wiki-syntax has 2 modes:
- Inline-mode which is used for eg: ''bold'' or //italic// and
- Block-mode which is used for eg: paragraphs, bullet lists, numbered
lists and so on.
A basic rule for UI developers is: Everything needs to be inline,
... because "whitespace matters" also for UI stuff :/.
And ATM backwards compatibility forces us to keep it that way for some more
time. ... With V5.1.15 a \whitespace trim option was implemented, which
should improve the situation in the future. ... If someone rewrites the
core UI in a readable way, with out breaking the whole thing. ... So time
will tell.
using \whitespace trim with macros needs to be activated per macro and
looks like this:
\define macro-name()
\whitespcae trim
... your code here ...
\end
You can make your code more readable. ... BUT some widgets will need a
"mode=block" parameter, since the default for widgets is "mode=inline" !!!!!
The negated version is:
\whitespcae notrim
