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

Hi,
I think we need 2) then maybe also 1) and not "1) or 2)". And I think
it's useful for more than emoticon like FIXME icon like in DokuWiki
and things like that.

So if we have 1) and 2) then what syntax do you use for 1) and what
symbols are done with 1) and what others are done with 2)?

Hi,
I'd say that we'd better go with 2) because it's more extensible, easier to
remember names than symbols plus people who don't want to remember the names
will probably be using the WYSIWYG editor in the first place.

+1 for 2
We could also have a button in the wiki editor to select a smiley.
