There have been some discussions on github already. I just linked one. You
may be able to find more [1]
Escaping is a 2 sided sword with TW. An escaping mechanism need to be multi
language and multi OS platform agnostic.
A tiddler can contain.
- wiki syntax which has the tilde already for suppressing ~CamelCase links
- html code is valid wiki syntax. So we can't use anything that looks like
valid html.
- there are CSS tiddlers that are wikified, to be able to use TW macros.
... We can't use something that looks like CSS
- backtick is used and valid from one ` to ```.
- Same is true for <$../> {}{{}}{{{}}}, <<>>, """, [][[]], $()$, $$$, @@
and combination of those.
- backslash \ is valid for windows paths.
So imo there is no indicator left, to be used as an escape indicator.
- btw: filters can have regexps as there parameters. So we will need to be
able to escape the escape sequence.
IMO implementing one more escape mechanism will bring us more pain as gain.
just my 2cents
