I could be convinced either way, but if we want paragraphs inside list items, we'll have to come up with a syntax for it--perhaps \ on a line by itself could mean that.
I figured, but <p>asdf</p><p>asdf</p> is preferable to <p>asdf<br><br>asdf</p>, the former defines two paragraphs and the latter defines one with a gap in it, our markup should translate as gracefully to /real/ markup languages as possible, in particular XHTML which is our main application.
I like where you're going with the image syntax but I don't like it *quite* enough to really like it, I'll explain: What I don't like about our current image syntax is that due to the way it's all cluttered up it's hard to extend, yours is better but IMO not quite good enough, for example I'd like to have (comments begin with #):
<<begin image>> file=pl_bulet.png style=frame # instead of just "frame", no "magic words", just attributes=values width=5em caption=Logo <<end>>
I like the idea of comments on variable lines.
Seems I didn't make myself clear enough, I meant that multiple lines like this should always have the format of "key=value" rather than simply "value" (you put "frame" there), I didn't mean that comments should be introduced.
