Redmine

<br /> tag is not inserted before macros in Wiki.

For example,

abc
!{{hello_world}}

should be converted to

<p>abc<br />Hello world! Object: Journal, Called with no argument.</p>

However, it is converted to

<p>abc
Hello world! Object: Journal, Called with no argument.</p>

Detail and cause:
<br /> in Wiki is inserted by hard_break method in "lib/redmine/wiki_formatting/textile/formatter.rb".
This method replaces "\n" with "<br />" as follows:

          text.gsub!( /(.)\n(?!\n|\Z| *([#*=]+(\s|$)|[{|]))/, "\\1<br />" ) if hard_breaks

It seems that "[{|]" prevents insertion of "<br />" before CSS style and in table, because CSS style in Wiki starts with "{" and cells of table are separated by "|".
Macros in Wiki also start with double "{"s, so "<br />" is not inserted before macros.
I think that hard_break method should be

          text.gsub!( /(.)\n(?!\n|\Z| *([#*=]+(\s|$)|\{[^{]|\|))/, "\\1<br />" ) if hard_breaks

to replace "\n" before macros.

Environment:

• Redmine version 1.2.1
• Ruby version 1.8.7 (patch 174)
• Rails version 2.3.5
