Hi Christopher,
You're right, but here's where various editors differ. E.g. in
wikipedia, a linebreak entered with the return key is ignored; and a
paragraph is created by a blank line. Other editors encapsulate the
whole text in one big paragraph, handling line breaks with <br /> and a
blank line with <br /><br />.
Other editors like the one in Typo3 treat every linebreak as a new
paragraph.
Is there any standard that defines some behaviour in this case?
I'm asking because a paragraph is normally defined as a block of text
that is textual related and, according to html specs, can contain any
number of linebreaks.
So according to this statement, a linebreak inside a paragraph should be
<br />, no?
Regards,
Ro
