Is it really so much more difficult to write
| TestAddArticle ("Main Page", "blah blah");
than
| !! article
| Main Page
| !! text
| blah blah
| !! endarticle
or
| TestParser ("External links: trail", "Linktrails should not work for external
links: [http://example.com link]s", "<p>Linktrails should not work for external
links: <a href=\"http://example.com\"; class=\"external text\"
rel=\"nofollow\">link</a>s\n</p>");
than
| !! test
| External links: trail
| !! input
| Linktrails should not work for external links: [http://example.com link]s
| !! result
| <p>Linktrails should not work for external links: <a
href="http://example.com"; class="external text" rel="nofollow">link</a>s
| </p>
| !! end
I think the motivation for using standard techniques is to
lower the bar for newcomers to the code and not have them
to master another ("fairly self-explanatory") syntax.
