WYSIWYG editor adds unnecessary double backslashes

XMLWordPrintable

      The WYSIWYG editor adds lots of double-backslashes (Confluence new-lines) in order to preserve formatting. This is pretty ugly, even if it doesn't mess up the markup.

      For example, someone entered a table in the wiki editor like this:

      {metadata-list}
      || Author(s)            | Your Name(s) Here |
      || Genre                | Word/Card/Shooter/God Sim/etc. |
      || Multiplayer          | No/Optional/Only |
      || Engineering Risk     | Low/Medium/High/Extreme |
      || Production Risk      | Low/Medium/High/Extreme |
      || Requires Licensed IP | Yes/No |
      {metadata-list}
      

      When someone edited the page with WYSYWIG we got the following result:

      {metadata-list}
      || Author(s) | Joe Blow\\ ||
      || Genre | Match 3\\ ||
      || Multiplayer | Optional ||
      || Engineering Risk | Low ||
      || Production Risk | Medium \\ ||
      || Requires Licensed IP | No ||
      {metadata-list}
      \\
      

      There are lots of double backslashes throughout the text, which makes editing in the wiki editor afterwards difficult.
