Moved this potential disadvantages to discussion:
''ambiguities in languages using dash with blanks before and after, such as German. -- As long as new lines may be part of paragraph, this will lead to random occurrences of hyphen in first line by any line-wrapping editor client. In the wikis I know, lists are commonly written **without** blank lines before and after.''
Don't understand. If a line wrapping client wraps a line, it will not put a hard coded line break in. So this does not create a random occurence. If you write german, at least I never put the dash at the beginning of a line if it occurs that I have to hard break the line, I always put it on the end:
{{{
Here's a German sentence:
Dies ist ein Gedankenstrich -
so etwas kommt vor.
I usually don't use this (Question is: does some grammatical rule forbid it?)
Dies ist ein Gedankenstrich
- so etwas kommt vor
You would never separate a word like this
Dies ist eine Sauerstoff
-flasche.
You would hard break the line after the dash, not before it:
Dies ist eine Sauerstoff-
flasche.
}}}
So I guess the second example might happen, but it's very rare and could be easily resolved, by using the order of the first sentence.
