Hi, AFAIK, if the markup syntax (=code=, *bold*, ..) is directly followed by non-whitespace characters, then it will not be marked-up:
=hello=there /not/italic This may be right decision on English text, but in some languages, the postposition (grammar) will be postfixed without spaces into the previous noun, so it will be the trouble. (Following text contains Korean characters in UTF-8, you may need additional korean font to read properly) =printf=는 =bold=로 =철수=는 I'm sure that some other languages will have same problem (e.g. Japanese or Chinese). Is there any way to force mark-up on this situation? If this pattern cannot be implemented easily, how about to introduce new escaping character to prevent to insert whitespace between marked-up text and the following postfix text? For example: =printf=\is => rendered in HTML: <code>printf</code>is *bold*\asdf => rendered in HTML: <b>bold</b>asdf /철수/\는 => rendered in HTML: <i>철수</i>는 I can't say the above solution is well-designed, but I'm sure that you'll get the point.
