I think the bold and italics notation is confusing, especially the italics // makes me think about comments instead of italics... why not just use bbcode (=already widespread standard on fora) for your wikicreole standard and add the items for wiki-specific features which are not available yet in bbcode?

Q: What's this supposed to do? ============= ---- test ============= A1: "<hr /><p>test</p>". A2: Treat it as a 4-deep unordered list element. ( http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/Creole0.1#section-Creole0.1-InternalAndExter… ), you have both internal and external links using double square brackets, e.g.: ============= [[MyBigPage|Go to my page]] [[http://www.wikicreole.org/]] [[http://www.wikicreole.org/ | Visit the WikiCreole website]] ============= Doesn't that implicitly assume that articles don't start with "http://" ? And is the "http://" matching case-sensitive or not? Certainly on the English Wikipedia, we have article names that look like URLs. E.g. these are all valid wiki articles or redirects: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/http://www.google.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/http://www.ebay.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/http://amazon.com And there's also these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ftp:// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mailto: How is the user to create a internal link to these pages? Currently "[[Http://www.google.com/]]" will give an internal link, although "[[http://www.google.com/]]" will not; hence the case-sensitivity question. Sorry, but I was away on leave last week, and so I didn't get around to reading this until today. Danger, Will Robinson! Syntax conflicts ahead. Q: If "**" means start & stop bolding in Creole, and the creole spec says "Bold and italics should be able to cross lines", and we're wanting to support both native + Creole, then what's this going to render as? ========== ** test1 ** test2 ========== A1: Two list elements as per current. A2: "<strong>test1</strong>test2". Q: If "{{" is used for image insertion in creole, what's this going to render as? ========== {{cleanup}} ========== A1: The cleanup template. A2: <img src="cleanup" /> Q: If "{{{" is used for preformatted text, what's a template that does this going to render as? ========== {{{1}}} ========== A1: Show the first passed param. A2: Show "<pre>1</pre>" All the best, Nick. > -----Original Message----- > From: wikitech-l-bounces(a)wikimedia.org > [mailto:wikitech-l-bounces@wikimedia.org]On Behalf Of Chuck Smith > Sent: Thursday, 7 September 2006 7:30 PM > To: wiki-research(a)wikisym.org; wiki-standards(a)wikisym.org; Wikimedia > developers > Subject: [Wikitech-l] draft of WikiCreole 0.1 available for comment > > > I posted a draft of WikiCreole 0.1 > <http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/Creole0.1> to wikicreole.org and we > believe all the rough edges have been smoothed out, but are still > > Please either reply on <http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/Talk.Creole0.1> > or just email me.
