Mark, I would think changing // to __ as an example is trivial. As long as one can reliable search and replace one markup for another in a set of search and replace steps you could build a macro for this purpose in NotePadd++ and run it against material constructed in TiddlyWiki mark(down).

This is all new stuff to me. I'm reading up on parsers, so this is beyond me at this point. It's simple enough to go over the md file for now and put in the formatting myself. Since I know I will be doing this, I don't bother too much with formatting; i create a list at the button of the entry

Josiah, The following is possible more for my own understanding, but may help describe the situation. When it comes to IMPLICIT rather than explicit there are hidden characters in any text be it new lines, a pair of new lines and more. It seems to me that along with some smart CSS determining

Looking at pandoc, it looks like one might have it do markdown to plain text, and then create filters in between for each of the markdown types to wrap the plain text the way TW text wants. But how much markdown to have to convert? -- Mark On Friday, November 17, 2017 at 9:16:46 AM UTC-8,

Ciao Shay & PMario I'm finding this thread both really interesting AND confusing. We need be clear how TW parsing works. Let's take the case that you want a non-TiddlyWiki markup system converting to Tiddly-Wiki markup. The issue could be thought about at least two ways ... 1 - you PRESERVE

Here's my naaive, newbie theory: I use Typora (Markdown) and TiddlyWiki (TW text). Typora had panodoc built into it, so it can convert to HTML, Wiki text, and bunch of other things. Pandoc has "extensions" (for lack of a better term) that "translate" Markdown to Wikitext. Ok, so, why not find

Ciao Shay IF you understand how to write complex regular expressions I highly recommend BJ's FLEXITY PLUGIN that will allow you to create **your own parser**. In a previous post I adumbrated that TiddlyWiki has the potential to be a Universal Markup

Shay, There are so many formats there, I imagine it could be easy to add TiddlyWiki markup to the set. Of more interest to me would be being able to import/export tiddlers in anyone of these nominated markups. However I often find value customising the output differently to the source text
