Re: [xwiki-users] Rendering mail content in a wiki page

Thanks Vincent, Of course, but for this specific use-case I don't want the additional features :) For example if someone writes "{{code}}" in a mail, I don't want it to be interpreted when displaying the mail. Maybe what could do the trick would be to support 2.1 as you say, and just escape what I don't want to be interpreted, ie replace "{{" by "~{~{", "**" by "~*~*", "[[" by "~[~[" and so on.

Depending on your syntax it can be easy or hard. Emoticons are already supported so you won't need to add support for this. All you'll need from your example are recognizing quotes and urls. > > > Hope it helps, > -Vincent > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > users(a)xwiki.org > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
