In the internet of the XXth century, online press articles were plenty of inline links to other articles.
I recently read a Belgian press article with inline tags, i.e. internal queries on some some words which retrieve articles that meet the search.
I suggest that a special markup be introduced as inline tags with a specific css rendering such as a dotted underline landing .
Suggested markup | Rendering | Landing page |
---|---|---|
Wikidot is a [[$wiki]] farm | Wikidot is a wiki farm | http://mysite.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/wiki |
Wikidot is a [[$wiki|WIKI]] farm | Wikidot is a WIKI farm | http://mysite.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/wiki |
Wikidot is a [[$cat1:wiki|WIKI]] farm | Wikidot is a WIKI farm | http://mysite.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/wiki1 |
Although it's not as easy, this can be done with links.
And by surrounding it with [[span class="inline-tag"]] ... [[/span]] the special formatting you want can be added to those links as well.
Edit: Actually, using includes this could be made pretty simple. Not as simple as dedicated syntax, but also not as much work for the Wikidot team.

At least we would need inline includes, an old wish but forgot where it was posted.
Leiger, I personnaly do not need this. But I found that it was good idea. Of course, I know how I could achieve this with span and so ever. But not all WIkidot users are little or great geeks.

Having just finished reading an article about Linux's many small problems being one of the reasons it isn't used by the mainstream population (people don't want to hear "research it", they just want it to work out of the box) … I have to agree with you.
Yes, it would be a huge effort for the development team to add this. Yes, there are several other very useful features that fall into a similar category. No, I most likely wouldn't use this myself either.
But the more easy-to-use, out-of-the-box features that Wikidot has, the more appealing it will be to new users.
