For one I'd think specifically § does occur on all western keyboards but, regardless, if the OP is made fully general in the sense that the user can define *his own* indicators then he can use whichever indicator he wants. This should be particularly appealing for those that don't even use western keyboards at all. > The point is to access ones own look/behaviour as smoothly as with e.g * >> > > eg: I'm working on a new plugin that will allow us to style paragraphs.

But if you do want a special indicator, then why not go with § which was *literally* created to define paragraphs?) > <div class="custom-div">....</div> Your second example is > > @@.custom-class > * element 1 > * element 2 > @@ > First, you're only talking about styling. As I mention, I envision that the indicator could also be a macro/code (like what I assume is done with pipe characters to create tables). But more cricitally you misunderstand the point with my proposal. The point is *not *to achieve a specific visual end result. That can be done with @@ or with html. Rather, the point is (1) to *simplify authoring,* and (2) quoting Gruber: “The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.” Surely, you must agree it is both friendlier for the eye and much simpler to type: § So this is a "special" paragraph § This one also ..than e.g: @@.myclass So this is a "special" paragraph@@ @@.myclass This one also@@ ...and, again, that even only looks to the styling aspects. Really, it should be: <<mymacro """So this is a "special" paragraph""">> <<mymacro "This one also">> ...but this would cause further problems with other wikitext like <<mymacro "So this is a <<anothermacro special>> paragraph">> ...and so we'd need to go full wikitext coding on it, leaving pretty markup all together. Things like * and : and | and > are very useful and elegant. My proposal is about extending this. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
