the problem with replacing backslash with <br/> is that there are also the kind of users that make to much carriage returns whenever they feel a sentence is finished.

this turns out to be just as ugly.

how do you get to the 99%?? i would say there are more people pressing ENTER when they really want a line-wrap then people writing textwalls.



Umm well I was respondign to the guy above me with references to the 2 spaces to get a line break problem. Markdown does not parse \n (at least not so I have seen) at all.

The textwalls problem I don't have a solution too :)
