Support for multiple line-breaks within a single paragraph #2872
Description
Lines and paragraphs are not same things in typography. Usually, there's a spacing between paragraphs, which less than the height of a full line, unless there are different elements involved like figures, headings,... And, sometimes, there's a need to use multiple simple line-breaks for the same paragraph.
Steps for Reproduction
- Visit https://quilljs.com/ (demo editor),
- Experiment a bit with line breaks (single enter press, double enter press,...),
- Inspect
class="ql-editor"component.
Expected behavior:
There can be produced output allowing multiple line-breaks within a single paragraph, like:
<p>Some text paragraph</p>
<p>
Another text paragraph:<br/>
with<br/>
multiple<br/>
lines
<p>
<p>Another paragraph</p>Actual behavior:
Can't produce output above.
Suggested behaviour
Simply: when an enter is pressed once, then a line-break is produced. When enter is pressed twice, then a new paragraph is produced.
Technically:
- when enter is pressed after text (ie. single enter press), then a new line is produced,
- when enter is pressed at the beginning of the line (ie. double enter press), then the line is converted to paragraph.
- when delete is pressed on the beginning of the line, then line is merged with previous one,
- when delete is pressed on the beginning of the paragraph, then paragraph is converted to line, and belongs to previous paragraph.
Not covered:
- how to treat multiple successive empty lines/paragraphs.
