WYSIWYG editor adds unnecessary double backslashes

      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.
