| 108 | |
| 109 | While 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 | |
| 111 | Here 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? |
