     107== Compatibility with other Wiki Markups == #Compatibility_with_other_Wiki_Markups
     108
     109While achieving universality is likely not possible, there are both many interesting ideas that could be grabbed from other Wiki markups and incompatibilities than could be eased out.
     110
     111Here are several other markups that are very interesting for us as they also target similar kinds of users that we do:
     112 - http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/WikiSyntax [[br]]
     113   * Mostly compatible markup, with the notable exception of `*...*` and `_..._` used for bold and italics. This is ''not'' something we're going to support, considering all the complaints we already had with our underline style `__...__`.
     114   * Internal Wiki links are a bit easier to write: `[Wikipage]` instead of `["Wikipage"]` for us.
     115   * automatic heading anchors are more readable (`== Wiki-style markup ==` corresponds to `Wiki-style_markup` instead of `Wiki-stylemarkup`)
     116 - http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/Creole1.0, which is what BitBucket uses [[br]]
     117   See WikiCreole. BitBucket has also a nice automatic preview of the Wiki text.
     118 - others?
