http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11211 --- Comment #10 from Adil <adil@diwan.com> 2010-11-08 15:37:32 UTC --- Just to add to the use cases.. (this is probably ancient history for most web developers) my own desktop publishing application provides two types of line-break - one that breaks a paragraph and one that does not. The users make all kinds of use of this - e.g. - to control the line breaks in headlines that span multiple lines, - control line breaks in advertising copy where the text has to match a certain pattern, - create a line wrap without breaking the paragraph formatting - e.g indents and paragraph spacing. In each of these cases the user intends to insert an entity into the line that semantically means "line break" but does not mean "paragraph break". With bug 10828 we are semantically redefining <br> as a lightweight paragraph break. But, also, there is a need to have a way of defining a line break that does not break a paragraph and semantically means this - with the advantage that it forces a line wrap with the bidi behavior of LINE SEPARATOR. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
