Context:
Let's say a person wanted to change the look of bold text… He/she needs to know how wikidot will parse the ** to HTML so that he/she can change the according selector.
It would be simple if wikidot replaced the ** with <b> but it doesn't. It's beeing changed to <strong>. Wich is also good according to W3C HTML5 standard. They could also have chozen <em> or <b>.
So I thought lets make a list where this conversion is explained. In doing so I came across some strange things like underlined text. This is beeing parsed as <span style="text-decoration: underline;">
So there are two things I am concerned about:
- this is not HTML5 compliant
- how can someone adress this selector to change the look? There is no class name.
I know this is CSS in detail but… It causes illogical ways of working, and that's not what wikidot is about I think.
