It would be nice to have an inline variant of the <tt>&lt;verbatim&gt;</tt> tag. Sometimes I would like to switch of wiki and html rendering within plain floating text (like e.g. the verbatim tag in the sentence above).

So it would be nice to have a <tt>&lt;verb&gt;</tt> or <tt>&lt;v&gt;</tt> tag, that could be used in floating text.

I was thinking the same thing as I was working the previous ticket on this
subject.  Perhaps &lt;nohtml&gt; would work.  LaTeX has separate
\begin{verbatim} and \verb tags - which argues for &lt;verb&gt;.  But
&lt;nohtml&gt; seems more html-like to me.  And it better carries the
meaning of the tag.  &lt;nohtml&gt; does not select a constant-width font
and make spacing significant like &lt;pre&gt; does.  &lt;nohtml&gt; merely
disables all &lt;...&gt; and &amp;aaa; markup.  Line wrapping still occurs
normally.

&lt;nohtml&gt; certainly would have made typing the previous paragraph
easier!


Personally i would prefer that we go more towards compatibility with Google Code's wiki, in which case the "verbatim" or "code" markup is:

{{{
your code goes here
}}}

Of the wikis i've worked with, this one is (to me) the lest intrusive, easiest to type, and easiest to spot when editing.

I've been using <code>&lt;code&gt;</code> in <code>.wiki</code> files, which is
not <em>too</em> much of a pain, unless you have to get a '<code>&lt;</code>' in there.  It's not really verbatim, but usually the effect I'm going for is a
monospaced font.  If an inline verbatim tag would guarantee a best effort to keep
a <b>short</b> phrase all on one line, it would save putting a few
<code>&amp;nbsp;</code> characters.

Don't forget that any sentence that starts "Wouldn't it be convenient if..."
produces an aroma that the horrible <a creatures</a> can smell a continent away.

heh.
