Please write your opinions of Creole 0.1 here. --Chuck Smith
I think nested lists were not agreed upon. They should go. I also think that the section about preformatted text is ambiguous. It does not differentiate between preformatted and unprocessed, and yet it says that it will work in-line and as a block. But what is preformatted + inline supposed to mean? Clearly whitespace cannot be significant in-line! (One reason being that you cannot nest a pre element inside a p element!)
Which is why Janne & I suggested that triple braces as a block will produce preformatted and unprocessed text (pre element, no processing), where as triple braces inline will produce unprocessed text (span element, no processing).
I think the only other alternative that makes sense is that triple braces inline will produce monospaced & unprocessed text (code or tt element, no processing).
We did indeed agree on nested lists about an hour and a half into the workshop and no one opposed them. Nested lists are very useful and we think they should stay.
You are correct about in-line and pre. I made some changes. Does the current state of pre on Creole 0.1 satisfy you?

If I understand correctly, we now must detect the raw URLs in text and mark them up, right? Good thing there is a ready regular expression for url
. But it adds a lot of complexity.
