Would anyone know an objection against using the backtick ` as a WikiWord
on/off switch? So I can write:
`WikiWord shorthand for [=WikiWord=]
`politics shorthand for {{politics}}
``backtick displays `backtick
Possibly these too:
`http://www.pmwiki.org [=http:www.pmwiki.org=]
`alternate_politics {{alternate politics}}
The only objection I know of is in php-code where it denotes a system
command. But this is code, so probably already within [=..=]. I remember
Word 6 converting my quotes to some sort of backtick format, but I never
liked that.
The technique might be specially valuable when automatic WikiWords are
turned off by default, so `WikiWord would instead activate the hyperlink.
Alternatively the ^-character might be used.
