==HTML==

After editing the title page and trying to start a link to {{{ }}} and finding it disappearing I wondered whether creole was intended to replace or overlay html coding. At least from this wiki (if it is creole 1.0 compliant?) it appears that at least some html coding like {{{ }}} is included within the wiki and creole is an addition rather than replacement.

The question really boils down to whether the document should have all html tags removed before/after the creole parser or not at all!!!!

How should: {{{This is%20a test}}} be displayed?

If a document includes: <a href="www.example.com>This is an example</a> should it be parsed to display character for character as is (creating a link), or should it be htmlspecialcharactered to escape all HTML or should it be displayed as "This is an example".

Couldn't find a page explicitly saying what the a standard says on this so started this one!!

----

In pure Creole, HTML elements and entities aren't supposed to be preserved. An engine which would do so could probably still be qualified to be "Creole-compliant" if this means anything. Wikicreole.org wasn't Creole-compliant last time I checked, a few weeks ago; you shouldn't try to duplicate its current behavior.

Note: this should eventually be moved to a talk page.
