Actually, I like your double-tilde notation a lot better than my hyphen notation. It accomplishes much better what John set out to do, namely make something that looks like what it represents. And a tilde does look a lot like a scribble, which is a lot like what a strikethrough represents. I don't much care for the parenthesis-laden notation, though. Doesn't quite look like what it represents as much as the double-tilde does. I'd love to see Pandoc integrated with Movable Type. That'd be sweeeeeeet. /Bill _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
