[tw5] Re: Idea: Filtered transclusion but as only the filter

[Charlie Veniot]

Oh for sure, I agree:  it is *very* pretty.

And subtle looking too, but then I quickly fall back into paralysis by 
analysis, thinking "but maybe that is too subtle": will it grab me by the 
jugular to let me know clearly what's going to happen right there, in the 
mist of everything above and below it?

So yeah, triple-curly brackets: ugly, but definitely quick to see what's 
going on.  ("Yup, there's a transclusion.")

Thanks for your thoughts. Yeah, I don't expect it to be anything doable, I 
just figured it was a neat thought. The reason for the distinct triple 
braces are, I must assume, to make it unique. If single square brackets 
were used, I guess there'd have to be some additional condition on the 
content between the brackets and I'm sure this would make things more 
complicated.
But still, it *would* be pretty me thinks ;-)

G'day Mat,

Without knowing TW's guts, I'm tempted to say that kind of notation would 
get TW into a bit of notation overload (i.e. a notation meaning different 
things depending on the scenario/context, and maybe getting a little hard 
to differentiate between the scenarios/contexts.)

That might be pushing successful parsing beyond limits.

But it would take somebody in the nitty-gritty-know to chime in.
