Hi,
I've noticed that wikimodel uses the space character for representing
quotes in XWiki syntax. Here's Mikhail's explanation:
"
These events are send by quotation blocks.
Example:
The first line
Gives the following sequence of events:
<beginQuotation>
<beginQuotationLine>The first line
<beginQuotation>
<beginQuotationLine>The second line </endQuotationLine>
<beginQuotationLine>The third line</endQuotationLine>
</endQuotation>
</endQuotationLine>
<beginQuotationLine>The fourth line </endQuotationLine>
</endQuotation>
In XWiki syntax quotation lines are represented by spaces at the
beginning of each line. The quotation block is a block of lines
starting from a space-prefixed line.
Something like
. The first line
.. The second line
.. The third line
. The fourth line
(I used the "." symbol to show a space)
In CommonSyntax quotation blocks starts with the ">" symbol as I wrote
in the example above.
"
I don't think we've really been using leading spaces to represent
quotes, have we?
Also I don't think the space character is a good character for this.
So my question here:
Do we want to have a syntax for quotes/block quotes? And what
character to use?
I think we do want to have this syntax and the ">" character sounds
good to me.
WDYT?
Thanks

AFAICS quotations aren't handled in Creole, does it come from another
wiki syntax or from CommonSyntax itself ?

Me neither.

Neither do I.

+1, I guess copy/pasted emails would look nice with this feature.

Looking at http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/MediaWiki+PBwiki+XWiki
you can see different ways of doing indentation (not sure it's the
same as quote though): ":" for mediawiki and space for PBWiki.
Haven't checked the others.

Indeed this will make copy pasted emails look nice.
Also this can be used for commenting inside the wiki document. I've seen
this used in some wikis.

New subject: [xwiki-devs] [Rendering] Wiki syntax for quotes and block quote? (SUMMARY)
Ok so we all agreed to have > for quotes.
I've added an issue in the wikimodel issue tracker for this:
http://code.google.com/p/wikimodel/issues/detail?id=42
As soon as it's done in wikimodel, I'll add support for it in the new
rendering.
Thanks
