Two would be okay, imo, three at most, but eight would be far too cumbersome. Since spaces seem to be the issue - I think, although I still fail to see the cause of the problem <Is this another issue caused by Word- itis?> not the issue as described by Pm - a trivial markup would be okay, say, ";; " (semicolon, semicolon, space), something that can be achieved quickly (e.g. a non-shifted, repeated key) and doesn't require closure. This is still a pain, though, to be honest, for other reasons. -- Cheers, Marc _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
