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
>> The second line
>> The third line
> The fourth 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
-Vincent
