Talk.Preformatted And Nowiki

I'd like to propose the following logic for handling this element:

1. If the first brace is on the first column, and there are no non-whitespace characters after the last brace, then this element starts a block-level element.
2. Otherwise, start a <span>.

The point is that I've found that my users often want to escape markup within a sentence, and the above rules seem to work well in that case.

Whether there is whitespace before the first brace is a matter of taste, I believe.

like this?

this is an example {{ ==h1, **bold** }} that starts a span
and this is an example as a block for sourcecode

{{
println 'hello world';
}}

This way we would not need seperate syntaxes for monospaced and preformatted

Well, monospace is different from preformatted which is different from monowiki. But essentially, yes.
