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 for 2 We could also have a button in the wiki editor to select a smiley. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
