change editor buttons to new syntax

[anonymous]

Please change the editor bottons to the new syntax as it is much better readable.

Thanks for your work. Colliar

Could you please be more specific? Which buttons, which syntax? Where?

[Christian Boos]

I believe he's talking about the wiki toolbar, and the new syntax must be the WikiCreole compatible one.

• B ⇒ **...**
• I ⇒ //...//
• A ⇒ == ...
• globe ⇒ [[link|text]]
• carriage return ⇒ \\

In addition, the image link could insert [[Image?()] instead of just [[Image()].

Played around in the "Release Notes" field, did you? ;)

Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about.

Thanks Colliar

Is the Wikipedia style deprecated (or at least recommended against) in favor or WikiCreole style? If not, then I wonder if we should make Wikipedia vs WikiCreole style to be a user preference. I don't want to overcomplicate the implementation and I'd rather just convert and be done with it, but I wonder if some users prefer the Wikipedia style and might not favor the change.

That seemed like a good idea, but when I tested it out I found that a lot of documentation was output into the page and the behavior may be unexpected. If the documentation was more concise it might not be so unexpected.

I don't think Wikipedia (MediaWiki) style is deprecated. (What's the difference to MoinMoin style? #6062, #1424)

Popular opinion nowadays seems to be that MarkDown has "won" (#2702), so spending too much effort on the "MediaWiki vs WikiCreole" question seems a bit pointless, but:

MediaWiki	'''bold'''	''italic''	= Heading =	[url text]	<br/>
MoinMoin	'''bold'''	''italic''	= Heading =	[[url|text]]	<<BR>>
WikiCreole	**bold**	//italic//	= Heading	[[url|text]]	\\
MarkDown	**bold**	*italic*	# Heading	[text](url)	<br/>

Personally I prefer a mix of **bold**, ''italic'', = Heading, [url text] and (rarely) \\.

I also tend to favor this set. Why not take these as a hint that Trac is not picky about mixing "styles"?

Sounds good. That's the set I typically use as well, except [[BR]] over \\ out of habit. '' for italics seems to give me fewer problems than // in practice, when my wrapped text often uses /.

Proposed changes in log:rjollos.git:t10442. The trailing line-break was removed from the heading line because the user is most-likely going to press return after entering the heading text, rather than navigating out of the line using the arrow keys, which was likely the case when the heading text had markup to the right.
