I suppose doing it the Perl-way: Stealing the best of each syntax, adding what's missing. I don't think that we have to choose an existing syntax, but can create one that combines the best features of the existing ones. Of course, this would be more work. Probably it will not be easy to get a common agreement of what's "best". Additionally the mixed up syntax shouldn't look too inconsistent - but that won't be too hard I think. Also some restrictions have to be considered. E.g. if we want to allow "block oriented" parsing (nested blocks in other blocks), the syntax must be unambiguous on how to detect blocks (within other blocks). That's mainly what I did as stated in my first post[1]. Look at several wiki-syntaxes and combine, what _I_ think is the syntax suited best for a wiki. And I think that such a (then collaborative) process might be a good idea for the definition of the syntax of this wiki. -Thomas
