Why a markup syntax different of the one in zh: ? It would be more intuitive to use the same markup for that functionality on all wikipedias with multiscript conversions.
Also, there is a need to be able to specify the script; for example the alphabetic table, alphabetic ordering is different in latin and cyrillic, so it is needed to be able to do -{sr-Latn: ...... ; sr-Cyrl: .....}-
I were talking about that with Zhengzhu... Points are:
1. Serbian keyboards (Cyrillic or Latin) doesn't have signs {}|[] and it would be very hard to make changes between keyboards a lot of times.
2. Also, we need something simple, like signs [] in US ANSI keyboard. Signs ()/ exist on Serbian keyboards.
I tried a lot of possible syntax ant they all failed, the functionality has been removed? (despite being described in the main page)?
I think Zhengzhu is working on markup...
