Folks,

This is a new post and thread to separate out of this thread 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/tiddlywiki/zssmbBGM99w> the 
development of an optional extra Wikitext markup method.

CdK has made and we have tested a patch to make the following "." or period 
character provide an additional markup option.

Currently you can use ";" and ":" for the html equivalent of definitions 
see https://tiddlywiki.com/#Definitions%20in%20WikiText

A key benefit in using these is an automatic line break occurs and 
additional double breaks are not required.
The introduction of the "." period such that when it is the leading 
character on any line is it will wrap that line at render time with 
<p>Line or multiple sentence paragraphs</p>
This results in a paragraph followed by a blank line.

A companion editorTool bar would allow you to select multiple lines and 
apply a leading period, just as one can currently with * and # to get 
bullets.

The Paragraph html tag will maintain a blank line between paragraphs but 
will also collapse multiple blank lines into one. This helps when 
additional blank lines end up in your tiddlers after a cut and paste 
operations.

To me the key value is when typing content into a tiddlers text field. With 
the use of "." ";" ":" and multiple ":" for indents, and the heading and 
bullet markup it is much easier to write nicely presented wiki text at 
"render time" but is simple and concise when editing.


   1. What do you think?
   2. Have you seen additional markup before?
   3. What is the best way to implement it?
   4. Have you a related issue with wikitext? do share!
   5. Should this be standard or optional, or a plugin?

Regards
Tony
