What I like in Creole so far:
- link syntax, with some room for improvement for non-us keyboards;
- ending paragraphs/lists with an empty line;
- ending paragraphs by starting a list;
- ending paragraphs/lists by starting a pre block;
- ending paragraphs/lists by putting a heading or horizontal line;
- allowing to indent lists;
- pre block and nowiki syntax (with room for improvement);
- heading syntax;
- horizontal line syntax;
What I don't like, but consider acceptable:
- parsing raw urls in text;
- bold/italics terminology (and resulting decisions);
- italics syntax;
- nesting and mixing of bold/italics;
- emphasizing links;
- choice of syntax for placeholder;
- choice of syntax for images;
- nesting lists;
- mixing lists types;
- two separate lists types;
- too many heading levels;
What I think should change before final spec:
- use asterisks for bullet lists;
- ignore line breaks in paragraph text (a special syntax for forcing line breaks may be introduced);
- limit nesting level of lists (preferably to 1);
- allow (preferably require) descriptions in images;
This is where I stand for today (2006-09-08). I'm open to explain/discuss my reasons behind any of these points. I reserve a right to change my mind about any of these points.
I think it could help if others prepared similar lists.
