Question

Is there / why isn't there - a construct to get a new line?
I'm aware of %BR% or even using <br>, but I seem to use so many new lines, I would have thought some form of format control would be available.

Something like \ at the beginning of a line used to indicate a new line is required. And !\ would escape it. i.e.

This is a line
\and this is a new line
would result in :
This is a line
and this is a new line
This is another line which is going to refer to a file in windows format
!\some-folder\some-file (and this would be on the same line)
would result in :
This is another line which is going to refer to a file in windows format \some-folder\some-file (and this would be on the same line)

BTW, not to ask 2 questions in one, but is Wiki format control the right term?

This is a proposal for an extension to TWiki formatting syntax. Suggest you raise it for discussion in Codev web.
