Christian,<br><br>You reminded me of a very valuable feature of Seam Text, one I think is worth emphasizing more: sanitation. This is too oft<br><br>Perhaps the direction to take is to allow Seam Text to support different dialects of wiki markup. That would be separate from the general cleaning that it does which is very much reusable. Seam Text would just have to set aside some patterns for basic elements that different dialects define differently. Of course, you would never expose the different dialects to the user...it would be a global setting for sure.<br>
<br>I certainly don't expect Seam Text to abstract every last syntax out there...just a handful of the ones that show up most often...giving the developer a short menu of options to go with...and possibility extend. WDYT?<br>

I think the Seam Text really has two somewhat orthogonal features:<br>
<br>
- Seam text markup in a proprietary language that might make sense for<br>
some one-off feature requests, when you really need it.<br>
<br>
- A validated and sanitized subset of HTML; you can use the Seam Text<br>
parser and feed it HTML input, and it will tell you if it's XSS safe<br>
or not. If you have some rich client text editor that produces HTMl,<br>
that is useful.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure we should do anything more/less than that inside Seam.<br>
