Ciao PMario & TonyM IMO PMario is right for something that could be shared one needs to avoid ambiguity. Two key points, I think ...
1 - Stating the obvious: any extension of (PUBLIC shared) wikitext needs to be elegant and minimalist. Retention of human readability is paramount. There is an ISSUE of scope limitation due simply to the fact the repertoire of available marker symbols is limited. *Usage of them should be as restrained as possible.* 2 - For PRIVATE developed wiki any schema, in theory, could be used. For my own use I use BJ's pre-parser to have lines starting ".r1", ".c5" etc for specialist layouts. I'd never make that public. Too confusing. My point? I'm still unclear whether TonyM would be best served via (1) or (2). What I would say is that ability for end-user to easier make a personal ad-hoc "rough-parser" is something Good, not bad.
