TWiki Syntax Discussion By Character

Index of where characters have been proposed for syntax. I wanted it for myself to highlight where mutually exclusive syntaxes were being proposed.

I agree it's a good idea. For some purposes (maybe just completeness) it might be useful also to talk about the combinations of characters, like:

!!

Prevents listing of a heading in the Table of Contents

Prefix for headings (then using +, ++, ... ++++++ to indicate heading level

Is there any reason to start a second page to include these type of items, or should they be included here?

It's meant to be an index of potential conflicts, not an index of syntaxes. That might mean listing topics proposing syntaxes involving combinations of characters that would affect how a character can be used. But I don't think that requires the actual syntax to be listed. I also like the way the table fits entirely in my browsers window at the moment.

Perhaps TWikiSyntaxDiscuss should also list the proposed syntaxes?

I have added references to RicherSyntaxPlugin in above table. While I don't think the changes for headers (consuming "=", "-", "^", "~") are worth it, I find the proposed enhancements using white space to mark continuations and the "Desription with spaces" syntax quite useful and worthy of consideration.
