Re: Possible to use plain text instead of wikiformatting?

You can put all text in {{{ }}} And it will be treated as plain text, but this is not pretty either. More than anything, I want to be able to take all \n's and turn them into line breaks, even turn them in to wiki br's by just replacing them with [br] -----Original Message----- From: trac-users[at]googlegroups.com [mailto:trac-users[at]googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Garrett McGrath Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 3:08 PM To: trac-users[at]googlegroups.com Subject: [Trac] Re: Possible to use plain text instead of wikiformatting? Ah, well I guess technically this is a wiki formatting thing but if you just put a second line in like: Line 1. Line 2. Line 3. It'll work a bit better. -----Original Message----- From: trac-users[at]googlegroups.com [mailto:trac-users[at]googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Leon Torres Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 2:33 PM To: trac-users[at]googlegroups.com Subject: [Trac] Re: Possible to use plain text instead of wikiformatting? Hi again. :-) It doesn't quite match what the user types in. The specific issue my boss had was when he was typing in several lines like follows: Line 1. Line 2. Line 3. This isn't an itemized list, just several lines intended to be separated by a CR. The wiki formatting put them all into one paragraph: Line1. Line2. Line3. Whereas in a standard <pre> text, it would come out exactly as the user typed. For instance, see the sourceforge issue description boxes. Those use plain text formatting and what you type is what you get. I personally don't mind the wiki formatting as plain text input, but one day my boss typed in a ticket for me to do and when I read it, the lines were jumbled together and created a communication issue. - Leon Garrett McGrath wrote: > > Really the wiki formatting is only there to make things look pretty if > they just type it'll come out as plain text (or at least it 'should'). > Just reinforce the use of the 'preview and confirm' practice. > -----Original Message----- > From: trac-users[at]googlegroups.com [mailto:trac-users[at]googlegroups.com] > On Behalf Of leon[at]opensourcestrategies.com > Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 1:52 PM > To: Trac Users > Subject: [Trac] Possible to use plain text instead of wikiformatting? > > > Hi all, > > I was wondering if it's possible to use plain text input in the trac > ticket description field instead of wiki formatting?
