I'm surprised to discover that this works:
----
[[Foo|
blah
blah]]
----
And so does this:
----
[[Image:foo.jpg|
blah
|
thumb
]]
----
And even:
----
[[image:foo.jpg|
some text over here|thumb
]]
----
And even more annoyingly:
----
[[Link|
***This is not a list
]]
----
In all these cases all the newlines in link or image captions are
collapsed down to a single whitespace.
So, the usual questions arise:
1. Does anyone know about, let alone use, this feature?
2. Is it useful?
3. Would anyone mind if it was gone?
My concerns are:
1. Lines that look like lists or space-indented text may not be (which
reduces the number of ways you can parse the text)
2. The behaviour of newlines is different from normal text (normally 2
newlines in a row would give you a paragraph break)
3. The behaviour of newlines is different before and after the first pipe.
