To continue the discussion Andrew started on the ticks this is the
dilema with the current syntax Is that we can't easily guarentee that
''' always starts a bold segment.
* Current syntax: '''italic''plain =>
'<i>italic</i>plain
* Proposed syntax: '''italic''plain =>
<b>italic<i>plain</i></b>
* Previous behaviour with new syntax:
<nowiki>'</nowiki>''italic''plain
and:
* Current syntax: ''''foo => '<b>foo</b>
* Proposed syntax: ''''foo => ''''foo (four standalone
ticks would be undefined)
This would make parsing alot easier.
