Allow Github markdown, mainly enter = new line

Open Terrox opened this issue 7 years ago • 8 comments

Would be good to let the enter key = new line. Frustrating to have pasted text become mangled by unwrapped lines. Having to remember to double-enter is not fun.

The "github style" newline handling is something I'm hesitant to add given that it can break the rendering of existing documents

It would have to be a config option for that reason, but I think a lot of people would appreciate it.

I compare a lot of different markdown editor with this one. And found a way how it works, you end the line with two or more spaces and type return.

Could you implement this way to create a new line <br /> or <br> Syntax daringfireball.net

Double space is not as good as just pressing enter, no training required.

You are right, but the syntax of Markdown should be adjusted, more information in the link above.

no training required.

Markdown itself requires a small amount of training, and removing that would make it less efficient. This app is following the Markdown standards as it ought to.

Disagree for users simply reporting bugs in plain text. They need to be able to separate lines of text and cannot do this currently without remembering to double-enter and they never remember. They can even paste screenshots without any training, copy paste just works.

Any updates on that topic?
