[[Christoph Sauer]] Dear creole parser developers. We have proposed a [[HyphenListMarkupProposal]]. I know that it is quite yet another change, but I think it's crucial. Please read through it carefully before you rant at me, because that was Chucks first response as well ;). I consider this as an important decision towards a Creole version 1.0. If we have sorted this out I feel pretty much that we are through.
My personal todolist/whishlist towards a Version 1.0
* getting through the [[HyphenListMarkupProposal]] discussion.
* general escape character (clarify usage of spaces before elements), see [[Escape Character Proposal]]
* clarify the usage of placeholder, discuss separate markup for placeholder and plugins/extensions/macros (term is engine specific) see confusion in [[Remove Placeholder Proposal]].

I've added a page called [[List Markup Linebreak Argument]] since it repeatedly appeared, to discuss it there.

Radomir's implementation for MoinMoin passed the [[BoldAndListsAmbiguity]] test...
Hyphens would require to use the context to disambiguate lists and signatures, so I'm
not sure to understand why the implementation would be simpler.
I much prefer a single markup character for unordered lists to offering both, so I'll
switch completely if this proposal is accepted for 0.6. But what do you suggest for {{{##}}}?
I think that separating nowiki and monospace is important (we could give up inline
nowiki if we accept an escape character, but monospace as a normal style is highly
needed, imo).
Another way to disambiguate {{{**}}} and {{{##}}} would be to always consider them as
list markup when they are at the beginning of a line and as style markup elsewhere,
e.g. after a space.

Except sometimes you'd want to put emphasis ({{{**}}}) on a whole paragraph...
If I understood your idea, Yves, it wouldn't be possible anymore. Right?
-- [[MicheleTomaiuolo]], 2007-03-22
No, I meant something like that:
{{{
A list:
** a single level-2
item spanning two lines
** Very important note: style is reset at the
end of each paragraph!
}}}
Skipping level-1 list is just for the sake of illustration. Spaces at the beginning or end
of lines should be discarded anyway (if they aren't by the Creole parser, I guess they are
anyway in HTML). That should be easy to implement with regexps.
I don't want to restart a whole discussion if everyone agreed on hyphens, though...

People do commonly indent lists, especially second-level nested lists. Also the choice of which one is a list and which is bold seems pretty arbitrary, no? Then again, the meaning of this is easier to guess:
{{{
A list:
** a single level-2
item spanning two lines
**Very important note: style is reset at the
end of each paragraph!
}}}

It's done neither in Mediawiki where indenting is used for preformatted blocks, nor in
WikiCreole. I don't have experience with other engines. Edge cases are often unintuitive, whatever
we choose; that's why I insist on simple and consistent rules. I wouldn't mind your proposition
if so many WikiPedia lists hadn't any space. Actually, I don't really dislike it :-)
-- [[YvesPiguet]], 2007-Mar-22
I don't think {{{##}}} would be much of an issue, because I wouldn't expect monospace to be used much at the beginning of numbered lists. However, as Radomir's research suggests, bold is quite common at the beginning of list items. Also, keep in mind that some wiki engines like [[TracWiki]] even require a space before the asterisk or number sign.
-- [[Chuck Smith]], 2007-Mar-22
To be honest, I really liked the original Creole proposal: No nested lists. And thus my first Creole implementation supported * and - for lists, and there was no discussion about nesting. Great! :)

Those editors however do NOT insert hard line breaks, that could be confused by parsers so that they make the errors above -- they only do it visually. So far no one has brought up examples of such an editor, or editor option, that inserts hard line breaks into text. Therefore this is considered as an irrelevant argument unless someone provides an example of an editor that is relevant in practice.//
On Macintosh, text editors BBEdit (commercial) and [[http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/index.shtml|TextWrangler]] (free) have such an option.
