One other problem I recently stumbled on is that the MarkupRules only
allow one instance of a given pattern.
So for example if you want to process '/XXX/' twice (for whatever
reason), you can't - only one copy goes in.
If you want to process '/XXX/' twice (for whatever reason), there are
dozens of ways to write the same pattern:
'/[X]XX/'
'/X[X]X/'
'/XX[X]/'
'/(X)XX/'
'/(XX)X/'
'/(?:XX)X/'
'/XXX{1}/'
'/X{1}XX{1}/'
etc., etc., etc.
I'd rather build the rules using the markup name, so as long
as the names are different, they'll both run.
The next version of PHP, 7.2, will deprecate the function
create_function(). We will have to rewrite the core markup engine,
markup rules and the processing of various $*Patterns (future PmWiki
versions may have to drop support for PHP 5.2 and older).
So indeed, it may be possible to find a way to build the rules using the
markup name, and even pass the name to the processing function so a
single function can do multiple rules.
As always, if implemented, such a feature will have to *not* break the
existing markup rules that work today for PHP 5.3-7.1.
