In my opinion that's the wrong way. We do not want to hack individually the syntax of every language dependent magic word. There should be a way to tag the language of whole blocks of text and the parser should be made aware of it. We should do the tagging already on the basis that marking up correctly the language of everything is the right thing to do. -Niklas -- Niklas Laxström _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
