Difference between version and

At line 75 added 22 lines
For me, the difference between a break line and a new paragraph is the space between the two different lines. Am I wrong? Is there a semantic difference?
So, my first thought was to go even further: only one newline is sufficient to change *paragraphs* (<p></p>). Two or more newlines would be treated as one and only one paragraph change. Food for thoughts...
A newline is considered as a new paragraph (marked by a pilcrow) in Microsoft Word. In Word 2007, the spacing between paragraphs is now obvious in the default template (10 points after a paragraph).
=== Break line ===
To break a line ({{{<br /­>}}}), any {{{\s+\\\\\s+}}}} (that's two backslashes ({{{\\}}}) preceded and followed by at least one whitespace) would be sufficient in my opinion. The rendering engine would eliminate theses spaces.
Then, the questions are:
# Why do we *absolutely* need two newlines for paragraphs? (The spec could say: At least one newline is necessary to create a new paragraph.
# Is one backslash sufficient to break a line?
# Do we need to put a newline after or one whitespace is sufficient?
# What about one whitespace before?
# Should two or more subsequent whitespaces be treated as only one space?
Remarks:
* The backslash key is not easy to find on several keyboard layouts.
