[pmwiki-users] New markup suggestion

[Simon]

I know we don't do this very often.
but I'd like to suggest new markup.
I'm looking for feedback before I create a PITS entry.

Actually, in a way its not new markup, its just making two existing markups
work together

Currently we have the markup

   - Line break *\\ *which forces a new line if the very last two
   characters on a line (i.e. before a new line character)
   - Join line *\ *which forces a new line if the very last characters on a
   line (i.e. before a new line character)

I propose the introduction of the markup

   - Join line with break *\\\* which forces a line break and retains
   indentation if the very last three characters on a line (i.e. before a new
   line character)

i.e. \\ generates a </p> or </li>
\\\ generates a <br/>

This allows you to place a line break in lists for example and retain the
bullet, e.g.

   - indented list *\\\*
   with text continuing
   - next list item

thanks

Simon
