[xwiki-devs] [Rendering] Final syntax decisions and remaining issues

Hi, I've updated this page http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWikiSyntax20 which describes both XWiki syntax 1.0 and XWiki Syntax 2.0. I want to make sure we agree with the following syntax decisions and especially with regards to Creole since we want to be close to it. One disclaimer though: the creole specification is badly done and is not strict enough. There are lots of ambiguities in their descriptions of the syntax elements so it's almost impossible to ensure to be fully compatible with some element syntaxes. 1) New lines Right now we honor new lines (we've all already voted to have this). I just wanted to point out that this is different from Creole. 2) Horizontal lines We accept 4 or more dashes. Creole says it's 4 dashes only. However if you try it on their test page at http://www.wikicreole.org/EditX.jsp?page=JSPWikiTestCases if works fine with more than 4 dashes too. 3) Special numbered lists Is it ok to have this syntax: (% class="roman" %) 1. item1 1. item2 Or do we introduce new syntax elements as it's done in XWiki Syntax 1.0: i. item1 i. item2 See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWikiSyntax20#HLists for more examples. I have the feeling it would be better to use our 1.0 syntax for this (note that this requires some heavy changes to wikimodel - Will need to discuss it with Mikhail). 4) Images There's currently no special support for images in wikimodel. The solution wikimodel proposes is to implement its support through linline links. For example: This is an image:my.png image. As you can see the image is specified as a URI. Ok with everyone?
