There could be a wiki.def file in that defines what char set delimits
or defines each wiki operation. If someone wants to use [ ] for links, fine. If someone wants to change and use {}, or () or <>, or whatever for links. that could be a user choice, just make the appropriate changes in the definition file. There's no need to force everyone to adopt a new standard and rewrite all their old wikis. Make it adaptable. If the general trend is to adopt some other standard, then that could be come the default wiki.def set. One could also develop conversion programs to convert one set to another, using old and new definitions. I suppose it might even be possible to attach these sorts of definitions in a 'hidden' section at the end of each wiki page.

As a result, people who want to write a url containing parentheses (common on Wikipedia) have to write %28 and %29 for parens so that PmWiki doesn't treat them as link text suppression markers. -- Always, Dr Fred C [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
