Whitespace in Comments (enters)

[monotkate]

If you submit a comment with enters between lines of text, it eliminates it after it's submitted.

That's because comments aren't Markdown enabled. It works fine in
description and updates.

So, this can become an enhancement request and/or tech spike to enable only
a small subset of Markdown for comments. It might, however, screw up all
other Markdown if it's a global configuration.

Yeah I know it's not in markdown but that's weird behavior. Other solution would be to return to a submit on enter for comments

[Mctalian]

I agree it's weird. It's a limitation of HTML, unfortunately. I posted in some issue all the ways I know of to get around this sort of thing, I'll see if I can find it. Enabling Markdown was the solution we chose, but I would vote against Markdown on comments because people could use giant headers and make comments super difficult to scroll through.

#264 my comment lists the ways I'm aware of working around it. In addition we can try to create a custom markdown directive with limited features. Perhaps just hyperlinks, lists, and newlines to name a few.

How about submit on enter?

[Mctalian]

Yeah, that's another option. I know when Yammer submits on enter I get pissed though.
