Hang on - if nobody seems to use {{{{{ }}}}} then why is this what Creole chose? Why not the more standard {{{[[ ]]}}} notation?

Thanks for the answer. So taking this abstraction further, would we say that {{{[[ ]]}}} always takes us to another page in the wiki, or to an external link, whereas {{{{{ }}}}} will try to embed the content directly in to the page? For example, we might want to embed a flash video, plug in some raw text, or even directly insert the content of another wiki (as far as I know this isn't done, but I'm wondering if it might be a useful extension).

Yes, exactly. There might be some magick involved in determining the type of the linked object and "embedding" it, so it's definitely and advanced feature of any wiki engine, but the intention is there: square brackets link, curly braces embed. At least it's how I see it, but I suspect others had similar ideas when this was introduced.

I would like to note that {{{ {{ }} }}} can be seen as [[transclusion]], so embedding another static resource like images or videos , but I think we should have a different syntax for wiki plug ins that create content dynamically, see [[CreoleAdditions]]. I am not talking about browser plugins here. I mean wiki plugins that add functionality like a //table of contents// etc. Something like e.g. JSPWiki has, see [[JSPWiki:Plugins]]. I haven't looked into how other WikiEngines call their equivalent to JSPWiki plugins, this is a discussion we will have to go through. I think we don't have a clean terminology (a common understanding) for that right now -- [[ChristophSauer]], 2008-Feb-15 06:40 (CET)
