Take wiki syntax for example. All wikis(i know) rely on simple syntax that uses ASCII characters to display somewhat structured and formatted content. And it's common to use "*" to mark unordered list. And also different languages have different types of quotes for example in Bulgarian the quoted text looks like this : ,, quote " . And if someone wants to translate the package summary he must go trough the UTF symbol table to find the specific quote symbol. This can be simply solved with a parser. The representation should be different from the content. And if a machine will display some text to a person then machine code must be written. -- NV -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
