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 -Vincent
