I haven't been keeping up with the new implementation, but the"old" tiddly wiki has a wikitext field that can be set to a different wiki formatter. It's how plugins with alternative syntax have worked in the past.
I would add that I agree that even the default markup should be a plugin. I wonder if the markup could be made even more modular- the idea being that a new formatter can easily clone specific markup functions from another formatter. An example would be to make a creole formatter "clone" the macro syntax from the default tiddly formatter. It's important to allow the cloning or copying of a format function, so that a plugin author can trust that the function cloned is kept up to date (as opposed to copying the actual code implementation from the default formatter, which requires that the developer constantly maintain the copied code) On Dec 25, 2011 6:32 AM, "PMario" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Martin, > I think, it isn't necessary to extend TW syntax with WikiCreole > syntax, it would make it possible to mix both and create a new syntax, > that is incompatible to any of them. > > So I'd say.
