I have the following markup:

''Emphasized text''
'''Strong emphasis'''
'''''Even stronger emphasis'''''

There is no line break at all. It shows up as one line:

Emphasized text Strong emphasis Even stronger emphasis

If I add "br" to the end of the each line,

''Emphasized text''<br>
'''Strong emphasis'''<br>
'''''Even stronger emphasis'''''<br>

I get the proper single spacing.

Emphasized text
Strong emphasis
Even stronger emphasis

If I add a space between each line,

''Emphasized text''

'''Strong emphasis'''

'''''Even stronger emphasis'''''

I get double spacing:

Emphasized text

Strong emphasis

Even stronger emphasis

What input filters do you have enabled? I have the following processing chain, and this problem doesn't occur:

* Footnotes Textile style (-8) -> Footnates with the syntax [# footnote]
* Code filter (-6) - > marks < code > tags
* PEAR Wiki Filter (0)
* URL-Filter (2)
* Line Break Converter (10) ->cares for the line breaks you're missing (Localized: Zeilenumbruchkonverter)

Regards, -asb

PS: How do you accomplish '''''Even stronger emphasis'''''? MediaWiki renders this as bold+italic, but in my Drupal setup this appears as ''Even stronger emphasis'' in bold...?

I think this is intended behavior of the Mediawiki filter anyway. Linebreaks have to be forced with <br />. Empty lines between the text makes the parser assume that there is a new paragraph and so you get the margins between the text.

As said it's intended behaviour.
