HTML gives you all the flexibility you could possibly desire, without requiring one learn Yet Another Markup Language. As an example of what's possible, just take a look at a work-in-progress of mine: http://accord-sys.com/ -- (it's VERY much 'in progress', but you get the idea). > that EVERYONE uses, but I am saying there ARE a few STANDARD wiki > formats, of which Fossil wants nothing to do with for some reason that's > far beyond me. Exactly for the reason you mention: just what syntax should be used, or what subset of that syntax? MediaWiki? Twiki? Joe's-excellent-wiki? I agree there are things in the wiki syntax which are odd or unusual -- but any additional wiki code adds to the complexity and size of Fossil (and makes it more prone to problems). -- Sending me something private?
