Re: [xwiki-devs] [XWiki Syntax] Do we want a special wiki syntax for special characters like emoticons?

Hi, Since I'm working on the new rendering component it's a good time to decide if we want a special wiki syntax for special icons such as for emoticons and more. For example Confluence has these: http://snipplr.com/view/4931/confluence-emoticons/ I can think of 2 solutions for us: 1) we do the same, i.e. introduce new syntax for these 2) we rely on a macro instead (for ex: {icon:name/}) 1) looks more natural for end users while 2) is more extensible (and would allow us to include the whole Tango library for ex: http://tango.freedesktop.org/images/2/20/Tango-feet.png) . 1) is also way more complex to implement than 2). For 2) we would need to find some way so that it's easy for the user to enter (of course the WYSIWYG editor could have a nice selector for that macro but it would also be nice if it were not too hard to enter in wiki mode). WDYT? Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
