I have to agree. '''''bold and italic''''' is definitely not what I understand as an intuitive syntax. I did some work on designing an easy wiki syntax for a wiki plugin for my (yet another...)[1] webdev framework. I looked at the syntax of several wikis and tried to create an easy to write (and to parse) syntax: http://gedankenkonstrukt.de/konstrukt/syntax.html This actually has been implemented and works fine. It's not released yet and also not intended to be a base for a perl6-wiki. I'm just posting it to suggest a possible syntax. Interestingly it is very similar to Markdown although I never heard about it before :) Regards, -Thomas [1]: I believe everyone has to build one on its own ;)
