They might :-). The issue is the KIND of document. The point about light-weight markup is precisely to use as little markup as possible so that the text remains human readable. Some kinds of document can have incredibly light markup because *the actual written form already implies its own markup*. For instance, screenplays rely on spacing in the human readable version so parsers for them use spacing as a primary vector. An example is https://fountain.io/syntax which is an elegant space-centric variation on Markdown. Regarding the OP, an interesting issue from my point of view, is some comments you made about concern for some kind of "rule check". I think you are right in that raw regex may do the job, but without an AST (a basic checking framework) I could foresee issues. Anyway its very useful to open the parsing process to extension. Tony's case is a good one, I think, to test with. Best wishes TT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
