Mat,

It this Mario/Tony solution is complete any line can become a styled
paragraph. To extend to your OT consider this;
- Wiki markup is effectively translated to HTML tags (Except macros and
transclusion which are eventually)
- Of course one form of custom markup is to start using html tags in
your text
- But we know this is harder to read than wikitext, where we need not
always close something like "*" rather than `<li>item</li>`
- So what if we had a way to craft a html "template" then access it via
a markup escape character? The HTML would then act on the line we marked up
- But why stop there, why not define a template* html or otherwise,*
then have a wikitext markup that applies that template to the wikitext
line.
- You can see below there is a large range of Unicode characters
available to use that in wikitext can be used
- We can provide a EditorTool Bar button to insert or prefix lines
with out custom characters.
- This fine for tiddler wiki authored text because these unicode
characters will not be in the text unless the author puts them there, and
they only become alternative markup if escaped.
- Tiddlywiki core could understand the escape and show nothing if
there is no markup definition.
- It would be easy to share a set of alternate markup to support authors
etc..
For example if we used the character you pointed out
§☐ Item
Would use the special template labelled ☐ to format Item, which may be
<<checkbox "$item$">><li>$Item$</li>
I think there may be a better character, I will share if I find it.
Regards
Tony
