Hi, Petko, I can't really see how this small and consequent change warrants such a detailed write-up :) Just go for it! If quotes weren't already used for external links and images, I would be in favour of [[Link|text|title]] (which feels like a logical extension to current link markup). But since quotes are already used for this... -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
