Vassil Dichev commented on ESME-307:
------------------------------------
I'm not sure adding punctuatioon to the spaceOrEnd parser is the right path
yet. How would would punctuation which is not the end of the text parse then:
how *would*?this parse
If we decide that punctuation should end the special markup, then it should
also begin next inline markup, and you have to modify begOrSpace too:
would this?*parse* correctly
Also, rather than being inconsistent and wondering what is punctuation, I'd
rather use the regular expression Pattern.compile("""\p{Punct}""")
It's also very informative to read the grammar rules for a couple of existing
lightweight markup parsers, for instance the reStructuredText markup
specification:
