: I'm dubious about hanging indentation (is that first line a part of the following text or is it independent? How many people actually use hanging indentation? Isn't that likely to cause problems with automatic list formatting? What is it doing in a plain-text converter?) |

: I'm dubious about line-end treatment, in general. (In part because I have been discovering, recently, that what I thought was plain text treatment sometimes is not, and my lines are being glued together in contexts where that destroys my presentation.) |

:: but in those cases don't you also need monospace? this is the hardest part to solve. because it could be wrong either way. some of the text-to-html converters i found offered the user a choice, if they wanted <br/> inserted or not.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 02:33, 6 January 2012 (UTC) |

: I'm also dubious about that table concept: If I put two spaces between my sentences and I use line ends in my text, and a space happens to fall under the second space on the following line, is that a table? If the line after it is short, does that make it a table? Where are the row boundaries? |

:: i don't know if tables can be done in any reasonable manner. two lines and two columns is certainly not enough to recognize a table. but what about this? |
|||
this is no table. just 9 sentences. that align. |
|||
a short sentence. another sentence. and more. |
|||
some longer text. this too is text. so is this. |
|||
:: also, sentences in a table are unlikely all ending in . |
|||
the 1 above may but this text |
|||
not be a table. here surely is. |

:: tables were just a thought, wondering if they can be recognized in a reasonable way. if they can't i'd drop the idea.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 02:33, 6 January 2012 (UTC) |

: Anyways, this is a plausible start, but some aspects of it still seem overly open-ended. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 22:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC) |

:: the requirements are currently open ended exactly because i want to bring out questions like yours. thank you. we can discuss these questions then use them to formulate more concrete requirements.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 02:33, 6 January 2012 (UTC) |
