[xwiki-devs] How to handle XHTML output for semantic properties?

Hi, I'm implementing semantic properties in XWiki Syntax 2.0 http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3320 I've done the wikimodel part and I'm now wondering how what XHTML we should generate in the XHTML renderer (and thus what XHTML should the wysiwyg handle). Here's an example input: %%property1 ((( %%property2 **value2** %%property3 value3 ))) Right now one solution I've found is to serialize the property content in xwiki syntax 2.0 and output it as a comment in the XHTML renderer: <!--startproperty %%property1 ((( %%property2 **value2** %%property3 value3 )))--><!--stopproperty--> (note: we could have <!--property--> instead of start/stopproperty, that's a detail) Then the XHTML parser would use the xwiki syntax 2.0 parser on the content of the comment to generate events. Since it's not very trivial to serialize to xwiki syntax in the XHTML renderer I'd like to know what you think or if you have a better idea. I guess we could also do something like: <div class="'xwiki-semantic property1"> <div class="xwiki-semantic property2> <p> <strong>value2</strong> </p> </div> <div class="xwiki-semantic property3"> <p> value3 </p> </div> </div> Note: we would use span for inline semantic properties instead of divs. And then have a CSS with display:none for ".xwiki-semantic" The advantage of this latter solution are: * Easier to implement for the XHTML renderer and XHTML parser * Is in line with HCARD if we want to support it (and we probably do), see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3320?focusedCommentId=39554&pag… WDYT?
