"\" as in
* l'\''italic''bold
* l''\'italic''bold
? "\" escaping is used a lot elsewhere and "\" would be the first
char
that springs to my mind.
That's too tech-savy. The aim of wikisyntax is to be easy to
understand - we can't ask people to put a \ before ' or surround it by
<nowiki></nowiki>.
I don't mind a slightly more complex syntax for tables, templates &
such, "advanced" behaviour. But for your daily usage (and ' is used
often at least in french), something quite simple to use is imo
waaaaaaay better.
Best wishes,
