Change Details

We have a number of proposals on updated syntax and semantics for wikitext: * {T149282} (@ssastry) * {T142803} (@ssastry) * {T149658} (@cscott) * {T149659} (@cscott) I am proposing to combine these in a single 90-minute session. As a first draft agenda, let's say not-more-than-15 minutes presentation for each of these four areas (a joint effort of @cscott and @ssastry), and then 30 minutes of discussion at the end with the goal of unifying them, identifying strong and weak points, and agreeing on next steps. My expectation is that we can reach consensus on some DOM-based semantics, especially for templating, but we might not agree on future syntax directions.

**Type of activity:** Pre-scheduled session. **Main topic:** Handling wiki content beyond plaintext == The problem == We have a number of proposals on updated syntax and semantics for wikitext: * {T149282} (@ssastry) * {T142803} (@ssastry) * {T149658} (@cscott) * {T149659} (@cscott) I am proposing to combine these in a single 90-minute session.
