> Can you post a pointer to your txt2tags syntax description. > -m Of course! That completely slipped my mind from the beginning. Here's a general listing of the txt2tags markup: http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/markup.html
It has some formatting in common with tiddly. Note that the linked document doesn't cover a popular beta markup for "tagged text": ''' a full line of <b>tagged</b> stuff. ''' a whole block of <b>tagged</b> stuff. ''' a few words on a single line of ''<b>tagged</b>'' stuff. Tags are functionally equivalent to <html></html> markup in tiddlywiki. Another confusing markup is "raw" which uses " instead of ' and simply bypasses the txt2tags parsing of text- though any tags inside are hidden from the output document. RAW wouldn't convert **bold** to <b>bold</b>. RAW would still convert the input text <b>bold</b> into <b>bold<\b> , thereby "preserving" the output text. My biggest concerns are the table syntax and the img/url syntax. I think I'll be leaving the tiddly table formatter intact and see if I can manage support for basic txt2tags table functionality. The same for img/url syntax- though their syntax is so very similar that I don't know if I will be able to have formatters for both tiddly/wikiwords AND txt2tags img/url markup. In that case, I would leave the tiddlywiki formatter in place. I don't think I can fully replace either tables or img/url markup without having to replace most/all of the shadow tiddlers. The same with <<macro>>, but in-general any markup that has no equivalent in txt2tags will be left in place. I may end up with an odd pidgin of txt2tags markup for all of the "simple" text formatting things, and leave tiddly's markup alone for the more complex/background stuff, but this is mostly intended to be an easy plugin so that I and others like me who are used to the txt2tags markup can use tiddly with minimal modifications to an empty.html tiddlywiki. If I did a full replacement, I'd probably have to keep track of tiddlywiki's development and modify my plugin much more frequently- maybe requiring I make a derived tiddlywiki implementation instead of a simple plugin! All for much less "reward" in the form of markup compatibility. -- David Young -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
