Welcome!

Although Creole is mainly designed as a language to bring wikis closer together, I'm sure that many solutions are universal enough to be used in other text applications. We hope that both Sysquake and Creole will benefit from your presence here.

Thanks!

I'm wondering why you mention definition lists. Are you using them a lot? It seems to be one of the least popular html elements, many people don't even realize it's there. It also doesn't have a counterpart in many text markup languages -- you usually just use normal lists or paragraphs combined with emphasis, or even a table. Even Google recognizes that.

Not that I'm totally opposed to it, but it's the first time anybody mentions he misses it, so I'm curious :).

Yes, I find them useful. At least MediaWiki supports them, with [semicolon/colon syntax|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples].
We (Calerga) shall eventually use a simple markup language for help files in Sysquake; the current documentation, whose original version is in
HTML, does contain definition lists (see e.g. the [list of types|http://www.calerga.com/doc/LME_doc.htm#sc_objects]; there are several other
lists on that page). Since a clean and simple syntax already exists in the most common wiki markup, I think Creole should support it; it would
be simple to implement.

I'll probably add them anyway to my Creole prototype to be more convincing...

I noticed on [[http://www.wikimatrix.org/syntax.php?i=34|WikiMatrix]] that most wikis use the semicolon/colon syntax, but I just don't think it's that common among wiki engines.  That sounds more like something for WikiCreole 1.0.  I'd be curious to know what other developers think, but it seems like something that would be [[ExtensibleByOmission]]

I am getting mad with this [[ACL Bug]]. The dilemma for me right now is: If i enable page chache pages get locked by accident. If i disable it ACL on pages do no longer work making certain pages targets to robots. Arg.
