Description:
There are several cases where markup does not work as expected,
or is difficult for newbies to understand.
I believe these could be remedied by making simple markup work within a paragraph rather than a physical line. (ie terminated by two CRs, rather than one
''Italic text '''''bold text, but not italic''''' more italic text'' ?!
''Italic text '' '''bold text, but not italic''' '' more italic text''
[-ok-]

Italic text bold text, but not italic more italic text ?!

The concept of a '''line
break''' in a paragraph affecting markup is both difficult for newbies,
and a [+flaw or
lack of consistency+] in creating and maintaining pmwiki pages ?!

* bullets can be ''continued
across physical lines'' by a one space indentation ?!

''Interestingly, %green%logical[[<<]]line%% breaks allow markup to
flow across lines''.

Should the accidental ./ be handled better?
Confused!?
I'm afraid I have to deny this particular issue; while there's a good
argument to be made to allow inline markups to cross line boundaries,
it just isn't easily achievable within PmWiki's current line-by-line
markup processing model, and trying to make it work would likely
break too many other things.
