--- Comment #2 from Chris McKenna <cmcke...@sucs.org> --- Well "superscript/subscript/underline/strikethrough/big/small/code formatting and <span>s setting arbitrary formatting annotations (like "color: red;" or "font-family: serif;" are all just different sorts of text decoration formatting like bold and italic so the clear formatting button is appropriate for all of them. "language settings (lang=fr and dir=rtl)" are not in my mind the same thing as bold, strikethrough, etc, but equally they're not the same thing as links. I haven't thought about them before now and I at this point I just don't know what my opinion is and I don't really know what the arguments for an against are, so more thinking needed before I can you a proper answer for those, sorry. I think possibly the difference in our opinions about links is that you are approaching this from a "make it like a popular word processor that can edit Wikipedia" whereas I'm thinking of it from "make it an editor for Wikipedia that works like word processors". There might not sound much different in those philosophies, and in most cases I don't think there is. However from a word processing POV links are useful-to-have additional metadata, whereas from a Wikipeida editor POV links are fundamental to the structure and essence they don't conceptually fit with decoration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
