Indeed, TxText should provide live rendering.

In the meantime, we have Rubric and there is a reasonable support for live rendering and linking:

However, the current problem is the parser. In my solution, I used an island parser based on PetitParser. That's because the main parser is not flexible enough and, for example, does not preserve the locations of AST nodes. So, I would suggest to build on top of the GTInspector extension for now and focus on the Pillar parser. Once the parser will be usable for live rendering, we can switch to the TxText.

Who would be interested in participating?

Cheers,
Doru

Once we will get TxText we will really invest into nice rendering. Now nothing prevents someone to push to have comments better rendered

I think that we would need some better support for text rendering for Pillar to be usable inside Pharo --- that's reason why I gave up on this long ago and am still using html (and js) for myself... and also because of clickable links.

Kasper ��sterbye did this some time ago
However I have no idea what is the current state of it (Pillar repository shows only a single commit from April).

Ideally I want full html+css renderer, but that is hard.

LOL - this is actually what brought me back to Smalltalk again - specifically the idea of some sort of programmable Wiki - but I certainly don't have any code yet; complete newb here.

 If you want a wiki syntax use pillar because it is the syntax of Pier and you will get for free all the instratucture and outputter and
editing support.

Seems that Pharo is a magnet for this kind of project. I've been writing one as well and using it to organize my research notes. Does anyone working on personal info mgmt tools want to talk offline? I expect we're running into some of the same issues, both conceptual and technical.
