== Multiline List Items
=== List items should be [[MultilineListItems|multi-line]]
* [[YvesPiguet]]
* [[JanneJalkanen]] - but this is not a showstopper for me.
* [[ChristophSauer]]
* [[OliverHorn]]
=== List items should be single line
Use this option if you're conservative and don't want to change the existing specification, even if you personally prefer multiline list items.
=== Undecided
Use this option if you'll support either decision, but don't have a strong opinion yourself.
* AlexSchroeder: I personally support multiline list items, but I acknowledge that introducing them might break existing wikis that want to introduce Creole. I'm secretly rooting for multiline list items, but I'm not sure this is the best decision for Creole.
* ChuckSmith: I like the idea of multiline list items, but I'm afraid of wiki engines using mixed mode and messing up formatting in current wikis which would adopt Creole.
* [[MarkWharton]] - Undecided until I have a chance to check some concerns.
== Escaping closing triple curly braces in nowiki
If you want to display a closing triple curly brace {{{ ~}}} }}} within nowiki, should it be done by putting a tilde in front of it, or by putting a space in front of it? See [[EscapingCurlyBracesInNowiki]].
[[YvesPiguet]]: do you really want to bring this into question again? We had a solution working perfectly well, and using the tilde as proposed above **does not work** if we don't add other exceptions for escaping the tilde itself.
[[ChristophSauer]]: It is for documentation purposes. People should know that there was a second proposal, even if I will no longer push for it if I am really the only one. But Alex questions in the [[19 Jun Meeting]] encouraged me to bring that up again.
[[YvesPiguet]]: see also [[Talk.EscapingCurlyBracesInNowiki]] where JSPWiki examples show that tildes with reduced escaping power aren't obvious to design right (they seem to be broken to me)
[[OliverHorn]]: I'm against reopening this question again. Sure, escaping in nowiki is different, but isn't //no//wiki an exception anyway?
=== Tilde ===
* [[ChristophSauer]]
* Martin Junghans - This is necessary for both nowiki inline and block. IMHO a user who knows escape characters would expect this behavior. And a leading space should be everywhere else meaningless in Creole 1.0, as far as I know.
=== Space ===
* [[YvesPiguet]]
* [[MarkWharton]] - Space for preformatted block, greedy rule for inline nowiki. No escape characters inside preformatted/nowiki is the clearest solution.
* [[ChuckSmith]]
=== Hate both options ===
* [[JanneJalkanen]] - significant whitespace is always an issue; and having a non-generic escape character makes no sense.

* AlexSchroeder: Currently I support both, but - requires a space and cannot be nested. Back to Creole 1.0! :)

* [[JanneJalkanen]]
* Martin Junghans - It is essential because it is not defined whether nowiki inline content generates monospaced text or not.

- Having the character specified, but optional, makes most sense to me, as it mainly applies to wikis that recognize raw (unbracketed) wiki words. [[AxelRauschmayer]]
- I think some developers would be willing to put the work to make it parsable without the escape character, but the escape character throws in too many potential problems. I think it should be optional. As for not being able to write the spec without it, one could you the space or tilde just before the closing curly braces. This is the only escape character that is truly required imho. [[ChuckSmith]]

* AlexSchroeder: What for? Plus: We don't have a good candidate since \ is used as a path deparator by some operating systems, and ~ is used to designate the home directory on many other systems. Escaping WikiWords on many wikis uses ! instead of the proposed escape characters. For new users, disappearing ~ characters can be confusing. (This vote being an example.)

=== Don't care, just pick something ===
* [[JanneJalkanen]]
At line 115 added 5 lines
* AlexSchroeder: Escape character should display as-is inside nowiki and preformatted except when it appears before a nowiki or preformatted end-sequence. Escape character have no effect inside URLs such as http://www.epfarms.org/~alex/old-school-hex.pl.
* [[Michele Tomaiuolo]]
* [[ChuckSmith]]
* [[JanneJalkanen]] - this is easy to explain to the user. Alex's opinion, above, makes sense.
* Martin Junghans - it's easier for the users. I wouldn't ever try to escape an entire URI ;)
