Actually, wikisyntax is a language by
definition. Looks LALR(1). I've
always assumed there was solid computer science going on here, rather
than mere ad hoc jiggery pokery.
I assure you it's entirely ad hoc jiggery pokery. :)
Well, picture my jaw hitting the floor.
Hopefully we'll get it sorted out and formally
defined "soon". (It would be a
lot easier to get reliable wysiwyg editing going with reliable transformations.)
Please add to the Summer of Code projects. I'm over a quarter century out
of date on the latest language theory and tools, but serious students will
be most helpful in this area.
I'd put edit input syntax checking ahead of wysiwyg. I'm sure I'm not the
only one that gets bored fixing bad links and tables.
