To me this points to a bigger underlying problem: namely the use of
[...] and {...} as markup. Basically Boltwire makes it very difficult
to use these two types of brackets in ordinary content. You get some
nice short markup like [c] and {var} at the big expense of excluding
these brackets for normal use, leaving an author with just one type,
(...), of brackets. This is a pretty severe restriction, and not at
all intuitive for an author.
A less aggressive approach for choosing markup for variables and form
elements would be better, IMHO.
Above the markup table it says that one can change any of the definitions.
I tried to change markup for variables from {var} to {$var}, which
totally broke the wiki. So it is not possible to make custom markup
changes for any markup in the table. I guess this is because in php
functions strpos and strstr etc are used to extract bits from a
variable, so a change like mine which introduces a new character will
break the string extraction.
