Hi, As I wrote in the "What if? <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/iC1ZNZHVU8A/e6Gjioy8BgAJ>" thread, I think, it would be nice, if we (98%) adopt commonmark - markdown, and make the rest of the TW syntax (transclusions, widgets, ... ) a subset of the new syntax.
At the moment, the biggest problem of the TW parser is, that the "parse tree", that is created is _not_ lossless. So converting plain text to the internal AST <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree> looses the whitespace info. So it's not possible to do: TW syntax -> AST -> TW syntax, ... with out loosing information. ... If we would have a lossles AST we could do the following: TW syntax -> AST -> What If? syntax, ..... without transclusion, widgets, ... If WhatIfMark would be a subset of TW syntax and TW syntax would be a subset of WhatIfMark we could do really crazy stuff. The main downside is: That's completely incompatible, to everything that exists at the moment. So it would be a completely new system. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
