hi david
I'd go for solution 2). In my opinion this would be the cleanest way.
I wouldn't care about 9 kByte for the new formatter. Compared to an
jpg image, this is allmost no overhead.

There is a custom field "wikiformat" in getParser. As I understand the
code, if you set this field to your newParserName it will also use
your custom parser. This way you have the possibillity to use tags
only for tagging.

_But_ you have to hijack the saveTiddler function and define a custom
field "wikiformat".

@coreDevs
Where would be the best place to do this?

have fun!
