I'm not sure I follow the replies so far, they seem to assume something more complicated... It's literal line breaks, WYSIWYG. Assuming this is in the Wiki edit box: Line 1 Line 2 Then this is the default result I don't want: Line 1 Line 2 I'd rather have: Line 1 <br /> Line 2

These are not supposed to be line breaks in output. The second reason is... compatibility. When the allowed HTML subset is used, line breaks are common to make the markup clear, and you _really_ don't want to be adding in <br />s everywhere. The third reason... compatibility. Line breaks at the edge of block-level constructions (paragraphs, list lines) and table rows and other such constructs also should not have <br />s added to them. Line break already has a specific block-level meaning in many such constructs (dividing list lines, table rows, etc). So if you want \n to turn to <br /> to appear only where you want it, you'll need to be careful. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
