Jeremy Thanks for taking time to give a detailed reply. I get it.
I completely agree that legacy issues matter. But, at the same time, the way that the "#hashtag" has evolved into a broad cultural referencing system (tradition #2) creates a tension with WikiText (tradition #1). The OED now lists it. An indication of its wide use in referencing systems. And I have to say it really works well. It's different than other WikiText symbols out in the wild. Prefixing with "." is okay. But I would rather not have to do that. Its not elegant. On ... \rules except list This is a note. #mytag #anothertag #and-another-tag Is it inhibits all lists. Perhaps I am in search of the impossible dream? :-) Josiah On Tuesday, 3 May 2016 17:07:13 UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Hi Josiah > > Is there a way to change WikiText's "#" for a LESS USED character? > > > TiddlyWiki’s wiki text reserves # for numbered lists, but only at the > start of a new line.
