Properties - more formatting options on input and display?

  • it would be nice to support properties formatted as unordered lists like:

    property1:: this-works, great 
    property2::
      - value1-of-property2
      - value2-of-property2
      - value3-of-property2
    

    or maybe without the dash, but using tab instead ? eg:

    property1:: this-works, great 
    property2::
        value1-of-property2
        value2-of-property2
        value3-of-property2
    

    not sure which syntax would be the best, the idea is to enable lists to improve readability

  • another suggestion: support for tabs as delimiters, also as en effort to improve readability (any number of tabs would be accepted) :

    property1:: value1			value2				value3
    property2:: would			be					nice
    property3:: [[this is]]		[[just an example]]	[[thoughts ?]]
    numbers::   13              564                 2045
    

    which would be equivalent to

    property1:: value1,value2,value3
    property2:: would,be,nice
    property3:: [[this is]],[[just an example]],[[thoughts ?]]
    numbers:: 13, 564, 2045
    
  • my initial idea was to request support for both ‘edit mode’ and ‘display mode’, but I wonder if that could be only a ‘display mode/rendering’ option ? (probably easier to implement this way, but it would create more inconsistencies between editing and reading)
