Rather than fix the formatter, I think it's probably better to ensure that whatever formatter we use is always passed unix line endings. This patch (to CGI::Wiki) does this.
I'd rather fix this in the formatter; can you send a patch for that, please?
Attached.
But why? My preferred of the three patches is the 'fix before it goes into the store' patch - I like the idea that you can trust what's in the store to have this particular sort of line-ending. What happens when some other formatter also makes this fairly reasonable assumption about line-endings? The only flaw with it that I see is that we probably _also_ need the line endings fixing patch for stuff coming out of the store, to fix legacy data stores. But that's (a) transitional, and (b) harmless.
