Hi Daniel,
Welcome to Pier. Can I ask how did you hear of it?
Cheers,

Pier seems to
be pretty much what I need out of 'out of the box',
excepting the points I made above. However, I'm curious why 'Pier
Syntax' was developed instead of using an already popular markup
like Textile? Are there any plans to use other markups besides
'Pier Syntax' ? I haven't looked at the code yet, but if there are
no plans for any other Markup, how hard do you think it would be to
implement a different markup besides Pier Syntax for a professional
programmer that knows some Smalltalk, say like, oh, I don't know,
Textile? :)
The Pier Syntax dates back to SmallWiki (2002) and SWiki (even much
older). I don't think there was Textile at that time.
Pier theoretically supports different parsers. Currently you need to
patch 2 methods to make a different one work, not nice but that could
be improved. I have an working but unfinished parser for Creole lying
around already for years.
Cheers,
Lukas
