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.
Seems too basic... What about defining width, height, etc. ?
This would be done in the same way as you'd do it for any text element, using (% ... %). Note that right now this is not supported in wikimodel inside paragraph but Mikhail has agreed to support it in the future in wikimodel. Thanks -Vincent
As you can see the image is specified as a URI.
Ok with everyone?
Thanks -Vincent
