Keep line breaks in DokuWiki

Jan 12, 2011 by Inteist

I have created the very simple text formatter plugin for DokuWiki mainly to solve the problem of pasting some text with line breaks. DokuWiki by default ignores these line breaks and this was a problem for me. Without knowing any better I quickly put together the wpre plugin which simply wraps whatever you want with <pre> tag. I later learned that there is a better plugin for this. It’s called linebreak. It works fine for me, even with the latest DokuWiki release, but it seems that the author suggest to use xbr plugin instead.
