Hello all (newbie to this group here), I'm thinking of using weblocks for a "toy project"(that maybe could become something else), having programmed in lisp quite a bit (but that's already quite some years ago, and not doing much programming anymore these days).
The project would have somekind of "wiki aspect", by that I mean a need for managing structured text, and so would like to know if weblock includes somekind of "simple markup language support" (like markdown, markmin, creole) out of the box ? Or easily usable from other SBCL packages ? For those interested, it would be about ideas presented in below blog (blog format used for practical reasons, but not really a blog, and currently in French) : http://iiscn.wordpress.com/about/ Or also partly in below thread in English : http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_thread/thread/1b182a31305bf0b9# Or small abstract in English for the code/decode algorithm : http://iiscn.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/abstract.pdf So basically, it is about using a code/decode algorithm (published as a patent, this also to "oblige" myself to write it somehow), allowing to map in a fixed space (64 bits or more most probably, but this can be variable and changed), all kinds of currently existing "ID spaces" (like UNICODE code points, country codes, language codes, ISBN for books, GS1 bar codes etc) exactly "as is"(no renumbering at all), and then use these IDs to set up a kind of "ubiquitous permanent lisp world" or something like that, using these IDs (and a lot of generated others in the same space) almost exactly as "adress locations" are used in a current "classical lisp system". Or in other words, building a kind of "multi faceted wiki", but with "stable" public IDs for a lot of objects, and a lot of other possible IDs, but all in the same "flattened space". Not sure all this is completely clear ;) But somehow still think there is a tendancy in IT to view ID spaces as secondary matter (thinking that some syntax, XML or other would "cover" the issue), when in the end it is more or less all that matter to make things work. In fact more than a tendancy, working in the "OSS/BSS" world for telcos, really impressive how this aspect (taking care of IDs) is seen as secondary, and even often not realizing the issue, and this getting worse over time in fact ...
