Why couldn't that be converted on the fly as well? Choose one variant as the canonical one, and store only that in the database. Anyone wanting to use other formats would have the text in the edit box automatically converted to their preferred variant on the fly, and converted back when they saved. You'd have to be very certain you could roundtrip stuff for this to work well, of course. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
