Wiki-like posts and quotes

Csaba Hoch Wiki-like posts and quotes [post syntax, reviewed] <hh/254> (2009-05-19) Children: hh/258

Consider someone writing this:

    <<<wiki>>>

    == Topic ==

    Something.

[note Later we stopped using the "<<<wiki>>>" notation.]

What do you think, how should the reply format the headers?

Option 1:

    <<<wiki>>>

    > == Topic ==
    >
    > Something.

    Yes, exactly.

Option 2:

    <<<wiki>>>

    == Topic ==

    > Something.

    Yes, exactly.

Although option 2 is more work for the person who writes the answer,
I think that is the correct solution. This way the answerer can
reorganize the topics if xe wants. Just like I did in the mail about
body parsing, where I wrote this:

    == Place of meta text ==

    > === Link appearance ===
    >
    > [...]
    >
    > Plaintext:
    >
    >    Please have a look at <<<link http://www.example.com this site>>>.

    Previously we agreed on allowing the <<< and >>> of the meta text only
    in the beginning of the lines [2]. Have you changed your mind about
    this?

In one sentence: option 2 gives us more power.

I agree. I also think we should go for option 2; if not possible while
composing the e-mail (but it really should be), at least when editing
the Heap.

Yes. More work, but also more power and cleaner result.
