* Added summary of reasoning for markup elements in comment boxes.
At line 16 added 4 lines
%%commentbox
A star ({{{*}}}) is the most used symbol to emphasize text online. Double symbols are generally used in Creole to avoid accidentally parsing text not meant to be parsed.
%%
At line 30 added 4 lines
%%commentbox
A slash ({{{/}}}) looks like slanted italics, so it is intuitive and thus easier to remember.
%%
At line 115 added 3 lines
%%commentbox
A large majority of wiki engines use an asterisk ({{{*}}}) to denote bullet lists. The multiple asterisk approach for sublists was the first wiki syntax for sublists. Users do not need to count leading spaces like in markups where a sublist level is determined by the number of its leading spaces.
%%

%%commentbox
The number sign ({{{#}}}) is used for ordered lists in most wikis.

%%commentbox
Using equal signs ({{{=}}}) is the most popular wiki header markup. Since there are more equal signs for smaller headers, subheaders will become more indented making it easier to get a visual overview from the markup alone. Closing equal signs are optional, making Creole more flexible since many wiki engines do not require them.

%%commentbox
Almost all wikis use square brackets ({{{[[]]}}}) to make links. Using double square brackets allows single square brackets to be used freely without worry of turning them into links.
%%

%%commentbox
No markup tags should be necessary to start a new paragraph.

!!Line breaks
%%commentbox
Non-technical users generally expect that putting a line break in wiki text will cause it to become a line break in the output.
%%
At line 318 added 4 lines
%%commentbox
There must be a way for users to enter text which will not be formatted by the wiki engine. Triple curly brackets ({{{{{{~}}}}}}) were chosen due to their visibility and unlikeliness to be in the "code" itself.
%%
At line 360 added 4 lines
%%commentbox
All non-WYSIWYG wikis use hyphens ({{{----}}}) to denote horizontal rules. Most wikis require four.
%%
At line 372 added 3 lines
%%commentbox
The most common image markup was double curly brackets ({{{ {{}} }}}) which will then have the same internal structure as links for consistency.
%%
At line 338 removed 6 lines
!!Placeholder
When there is something advanced, a placeholder will show up, so users will not be confused seeing more than one syntax. (optional for wiki developers)
Creole:
{{{ <<x>> }}}
At line 383 added 4 lines
%%commentbox
Most wikis use single or double pipes to separate table cells. Single pipes ({{{|}}}) allow better use of space and are faster to type than double pipes since pipes are not usually needed in table cells.
%%
At line 419 added 11 lines
!!Placeholder
%%commentbox
This is the only new markup introduced in Creole. Few wikis use angle brackets ({{{<<>>}}}) for markup and it is easy to type on most international keyboards. This was mainly developed due to MediaWiki's extensive use of special characters making it practically impossible to implement Mixed Creole mode.
