All Thanks for the support and debate.
On my mobile now I have to enter desktop mode just to reply. I will make a few quick comments and reply in detail with any gaps. 1st mat. The key need for a special character it to use it on "any other line". Any line for which you do not have a wiki text character. We need an escape character to do this without confusing it with existing markup. You can apply smart classes and multiples where every you want. So go for it. I allready do on * ; and : all the time. I like this *.done item here *.do second item here .done gets a css prefix of a checked check box .do gets a green line with a css prefix unchecked check box In text add "ne" to "do" to get "done", I like it! Mario knew multiple .classname.classname2 was available. Thank him. The original project Mario and I was on was to get a dot paragraph. Ie start a sentence with a do and it treats until \n as a paragraph. It took some time already to establish tick may be needed. then together we came to a similar position to what you see now. I hope Mario knows this argument now but we can still proceed. My most recent position argues why define a tick paragraph when you can use ticktagname.classname.class name2 Or the dot paragraph or dot div become Tickp.classname.classname2 Tickdiv.classname.classname2 This opens up the whole method to an author doing what ever they want. Of course they risk less transferable wiki text unless the share the class definitions But that has always being the case and style sheets are often packaged with tiddlers The thing is you can now design your own markup which ultimately helps any Text get rendered the way you want. You can prefix any line either manually By editor toolbar buttons or other automation e.g. splitregex[\n] then out put with a prefic with no need to close. Amongst my own wikis or where I publish my content or bundles I create I will have full extensibility and what ever shorthand I want. Later if the tick is in core plugins or core no class defined will be ignored and rendered as expected With any html tag (including arbitary named html tags) I have no time Personaly for the table pipe I use full html instead which won't be necessary If I can tickth.w20 where w20 is a class with width:20% Regards all Love your participation.
