Some open issues/questions:
1) I think we need a syntax for escaping a block of text. I'd propose
using {{{whatever here}}} (same as creole and confluence). We could do
it with a macro but I don't know how we could implement it easily...
Still not sure. Most said they liked the {{{ }}} notation. Right now
I've implemented the {{nowiki}} macro. Do we still want/need this at
the wiki syntax level?
2) Do we want double curly braces for macros or simple
ones:
{{macro/}} or {macro/}. If we use simple ones then it won't be easy to
enter { and } chars in a text (they would need to be escaped) and
since we've decided to have double chars for items ( **, --, ~~, etc)
we might as well do that for macros.
We all agreed on double braces. It's now done in wikimodel and in XWiki.
3) Do we want to support images in links. For
example:
[[image:someimage.png]]? We already support URIs in links, such as
mailto: so maybe it wouldn't be too hard to support images too I
guess. Or do we want only the Image macro? A related question is do we
support http images (http://.../someimage.png) inside links and as an
inline element directly in the text?
Not finalized (need more input).
4) Tables: do we keep the table macro or do we want a
wiki syntax for
tables.
Also need more input.
Thanks
