White space handling

[comment]

I notice that the forum software has become very proactive in preventing vertical spacing. For example, it will not let me open a new section after giving a code example:

here's some code

This is an entirely different section and ideally I would want to have at least two empty lines between it and the preceding text. Like I can when it's text sections only (see immediately below).

 

 

The other thing is that if I mistakenly put two   or more consecutive spaces in the text, they are not merged into one. IMHO, these two behaviors should be reversed.

Bump. Any progress expected on this?

I am hoping later this summer at the next site software upgrade.

got some beta testers for that OW?

when the developers release the beta, then i will duplicate the forum database and create an duplicate of the site and invite a few to kick the tires. But its a duplicate so it will not be a live system, but more of a sandbox. And on final release or just before if there is an upgrade path from beta I'll upgrade the live site.

 

if your interested in seeing some of the items that will be included in the new version the developers have a running blog here
