I think it is possible to make TW substantially more compatible with
WikiCreole without breaking existing TiddlyWiki text. At the bottom of
this post I've included a brief comparison of TW and WikiCreole
formats.
As you can see, the formats are very similar. Where there are
differences there are places the two formats can be combined. In
particular could support the following additions which would increase
WikiCreole compatibility without breaking existing text:
1) addition of **bold** character formatting
2) addition of WikiCreole style headings, eg ==Heading
3) addition of WikiCreole forced line break, eg: force\\linebreak
4) addition of WikiCreole style headings in tables, eg:
|=|=table|=header|
|a|table|row|
|a|table|row|
I am suggesting these as additions to TW format, that is the current
TW equivalents would not be removed. This would allow both increased
WikiCreole compatibility without loss of compatibility with existing
TW texts.
