Comment (by redsweater):
Actually, take a closer look at the patch. The previous code already had
the "\n" characters hardcoded around the more tag. So what you're
proposing wasn't exactly possible before, either. The translation you
describe is exactly what happens *before* my patch, too.
You're right to notice that WordPress limits how you can play with
whitespace and the more tag, and it's a valid concern. But at the moment
there's no way to achieve the types of nuanced behavior you're describing
through the wp-admin editor, and there are only some very weird ways of
achieving creative whitespace through the RPC interface.
A better example of what my patch does is:
{{{
The answer to the question is ...
<!--more-->
42!
}}}
Becomes
{{{
The answer to the question is ...
<!--more-->
42!
}}}
But go ahead and try the same example in the wp-admin editor, and you'll
see that my patch achieves parity with that editor.
What I'm proposing is that we should bring the XMLRPC interface into
parity first, and then you can consider longer term whether it's desirable
to respect surrounding whitespace in these components. If it's decided
that it is, then it will be a good time to tackle the problem both in the
wp-admin interface and in the XMLRPC interface.
But this seems like the easiest way to impose some sanity right now.
