Comment form textbox submission does not respect blank lines to produce paragraphs #73

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter a comment, leaving blank lines between "paragraphs".
2. Submit comment.
3. View comment on site.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- expect to see the comment broken into paragraphs
- instead see simply continuous text.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Has been discussed in forum: http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/123

This is *not* a bug/defect, since the comment form/submission will accept
HTML markup (see Philippe's response in the forum thread), and this works.
But since blank-lines produce paragraphs in so many settings, it is bad UI
(imo!) for Frog's comment form to ignore them.

Suggested development possibilities:
- Blogger approach: just have text-filter which "respects"
blank-line-equals-paragraph, and give some help for HTML tags; or
- permit use of Textile or Markdown filters for frontend comment textbox.

I think modifying the filter system to be able to use it in the frontend should 
be
do-able?

Maybe "no-split" Frog would make this easier? If all filter plugins were 
available
anywhere in Frog ("frontend" or "backend"), then there could be little cause for
complaint, IMO!

Very possible... I hope to do some work on "no-split" Frog this weekend. I 
assume
you're a voluteer to help test it once the time is there? ;-)

Maybe I should add a new option? Use or not a simple WYSIWYG editor ? Or maybe
BBcode, I know that David likes it. ;)

BBCode! Peh! :P

Maybe with "no-split" we can offer the same filter choices for the comment 
text-area
as we do for the backend...?

+1 for the Textile / Markdown support for comments.

Closing this as duplicate of issue 99 since that description makes a little 
more sense.
