No problem, I may have overreacted. I find difficult to argue with a single person, in public, when
I can't know whether I'm in a very small minority (I suspect I'm not totally alone) or not. I'm not
sure a wiki is the best way to obtain the best solution. The problem with consensus rather than vote is
that you're never sure if the consensus is shared by a small minority which cared to express an opinion or
if it's more prevalent. For instance, I've written several times I'd like to separate {{{##}}} and {{{{{{}}}, you did
too, and you've written a proposal; should I say "me too" or assume it's known, with the risk that the proposal
isn't backed by enough people? Another example, the escape character: one guy doesn't like tildes
but may eventually accept them, one wants to keep double backslash for linebreaks, one wants an
escape character but is againt backslash as an escape character if double backslash remains the
breakline markup, and finally one is doubtful with the concept of escape character. Who will win?
Will it be for good reasons?
Concerning what I've listed as my requirements and my concerns, they reflect needs for closed-source
software which will have several revisions in the next few years and will have to be backward compatible.
I understand that's a very different application from what most (all?) other contributors here are interested
in, i.e. wiki engines. At the same time, I don't fully understand why Creole should be so permissive.
A stricter standard would have many advantages also for wikis; "multi-platform, multi-system, fool-proof,
implementation-independent" is maybe a goal difficult to reach, but going in this direction isn't that bad.
I deduce from some contributions that this opinion is shared by a few people here.
So ideally, I'd like that more people be involved in more discussions, especially when two guys have
opposite opinions and are blocked with increasingly strong arguments.
Wrt "paragraphs a la Mediawiki", I guess you refer to "Indented paragraphs à la Mediawiki" in my wishlist.
I mean paragraphs which begin with a colon, used in virtually all discussions in Wikipedia. Actually Mediawiki
doesn't support line breaks in indented paragraphs, but I think they should follow the [[Multiline list items]]
proposal.
