Item871: first line of topic has to be empty for correct markup
Priority: Low
Current State: Closed
Released In:
Target Release:
If I publish a topic e.g. with the standard print skin the first line appears verbatim in the static html page (this is ugly e.g. for a first level heading). This can be prevented if the first line is completely empty and the content only starts on the second line. But then, the next time I edit the topic again, this empty first line is discarded automatically. A working hack is to make the first line a nop and then an empty line. But that's not a workable approach with a larger user base. This problem does not occur with the basic_publish skin, yet with everything derived from
PatternSkin I have this problem.

I don't see this effect; i get output published according to the skin I select.
It sounds like the version of pattern skin you are using may have been locally modified....

I had the same issue, I had to modify the TMPL:DEF{"content"} definition so that there is an empty line before TEXT.
(I took pattern skin and created a publish skin)

pattern
is not a publishable skin; it has many dynamic components. Given that this works with basic_publish, and Marc has provided a workaround, I'm lowering the priority from Urgent to Low.

TEXT
is used in a horrible way by the View script, as a split anchor, and a newline is silently injected when the split is reassembled. Simulated by adding in a newline.
