It might be wise to consider tidying up the convention for
start-of-line local customisations. In 1.0 there are 2 options:
[[:upper:]]: as in Q: and A: and local customisations
=keyword typically used for local customisations
As I understand it, the proposed directive syntax is an
in-line (character) markup rather than a block (paragraph)
markup. (Although arguably this distinction is artificial)
My 5?-worth:
- change Q: and A: to =Q and =A (perhaps continuing to
support, but deprecate, Q: and A:)
- promote a starting = as the convention for block-level
customisations (eg, [[wikilog]] becomes =wikilog and
[[tocauto]] becomes =tocauto)
- note that sometimes this convention may not be suitable,
for example:
!Run-in head text!Text of paragraph
- because a known keyword always follows the =, == would be
otiose
