*Foswiki/TWiki does not work correctly in System.DataForms, i.e. TWiki.TextFormattingRules do not apply*

Following textarea entry doesn't work:

<img width="687" alt="Case 1: Textarea entry" src="http://twiki.org/p/pub/Sandbox/NoTwikiWord_3_2_12/entry1.png" title="Case 1: Textarea entry" height="128" />

Output:

<img width="379" alt="Case 1: Output" src="http://twiki.org/p/pub/Sandbox/NoTwikiWord_3_2_12/display1.png" title="Case 1: Output" height="117" />

But if you enter a space character before every line:

<img width="703" alt="Case 2: Code" src="http://twiki.org/p/pub/Sandbox/NoTwikiWord_3_2_12/entry2.png" title="Case 2: Code" height="126" />

It works:

<img width="422" alt="Case 2: Output" src="http://twiki.org/p/pub/Sandbox/NoTwikiWord_3_2_12/display2.png" title="Case 2: Output" height="110" />

I can confirm the not working text formattings at the beginning of a line. To reproduce the workaround, I need to add spaces to the end of each line, too.

you should not wait for Sascha, cos he is not working on this, therefore I removed him from WaitingFor

We are using the System.DataForms for our Quality issues (e.g. for Errata reports, collaboration of projects, ...) and it is realy an issue, that formatting is not working, specially as the behaviour changed over past TWiki versions.

%RED%To everybody working on the core formatting the forms: please consider fixing this isse!%ENDCOLOR%

Hello Main.MatthiasThullner, thanks for bumping this.

In preparation for getting WYSIYWG editing onto formfields, I am working on [[Item5489]].

On that topic is a patch, which I wrote at the beginning of my adventure. Since testing that patch I am now much wiser about what has to be done, and it's perfectly doable.

Give that patch a go - it only changes 3 lines - unfortunately it's a little too simple, and might break some nested formatted searches where the form values might contain $nop, $topic etc. tokens, in which case they will be processed by SEARCH for expansion instead of being lifted out of the meta:field verbatim.

If you are able to try the patch, let me know how it went.
