...You're right, the Chaperon parser suffers on the fact that it expects
a well structured input, such like programming languages. Nevertheless,
it works in some cases of semi-structured input..
I'm glad to hear you confirm my feelings - and you're right, Chaperon's handling of wiki text works.
...In the past I was asked sometimes for a better solution in cases of semi structured text, when I recommended 'regular fragmentations' (http://www.simonstl.com/projects/fragment/)
Sounds good.
Adding regexp-based line splitting to Slop should be easy, as long as you don't need elements that span multiple input lines.
...I would be happier to see an implementation of 'regular fragmentations'....
Yes, this would be nice.
Maybe Slop's limitations will bug someone enough so that they start implementing it ;-)
...BTW, I working extremely on the Chaperon codebase, to
change the implementation to Tomita's algorithm, which should avoid
problems with parser conflict, inspired by following blog entry:

Sounds very interesting!
...But all this take time, and I'm not very fast.
same here ;-)
Thanks for your comments, -Bertrand
