, but with text styles still possible
[10:39:27] 	DreadKnight: it's a freature :)

not sre [10:40:51] sure* [10:41:01]
gives you a forced line break. but it should rarely be needed. usually, you don#t want to break lines, you want to start a new paragraph [10:41:01] which is a different thing [10:41:07] and done with a blank line. [10:41:43] ahem [10:41:44]
is wrong.
is xml style,
is ok for mediawiki, though deprecated in html [10:42:00] but again, if you use it regularly, you are doing something worng :) [10:42:15] thanks, i'm not good at coding / this kind of stuff; usually use google docs for design documents.. heh [10:42:29] wysiwyg ftw..
