Idea of a sentences separation

[danilax86]

I think that

input:

one line
one line

another line

out:

one line one line
another line

is better than we have now out:

one line
one line

another line

It is a pain not to separate sentences with lines if you write in some text editors. Reading the whole stuff from one edge of the screen to another is kinda exhausting

I mean

is better than

and they should be rendered the same way

You can read https://sive.rs/1s for a better understanding.

Wontfix. Line breaks be line breaks. Configure your text editor to softwrap on a given column.

I believe we had the proposed line behaviour before. It wasn't good.

I could consider a trailing backslash to join lines though.

@bouncepaw One more thing to consider. When you edit a single (or more) word in a one-line text, the diff output is insane and shows you the whole text, not your edit. So, if there is a merge conflict it is impossible to solve it, because it is a one line. Since the mycorrhiza is built upon a git, there is no other way to work, but with separate lines.

If you disagree, read this: https://grishaev.me/strings-80/ (translated by robot)

Next - conflicts. If the paragraph is not cut into lines of 80 characters, it is impossible to correct conflicts. Please read this sentence again: it is impossible to correct conflicts. Without cutting, a paragraph is a single line, and if Vasya corrected the letter at the beginning, and Petya at the end, it's a conflict. Write claims to the creators of Git, CSV and other version control systems. Their working unit is a string, and others are not foreseen.

This is true. The proper solution is to have a better diff output though. The real solution is to ditch Git, but this is my power fantasy, it won't happen any time soon.

Merge conflicts are impossible to solve in Mycorrhiza already...
