Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] Trac with Markdown

[Brian J. <bri...@gn...>]

That's right, it needs the curly braces.  I'm actually not using Trac
right now, and I was never very familiar with the internals.

One thing I remember is that the Trac devs seemed scornful of people
wanting to get rid of the curly braces.

A lot of users wanted that feature, so the devs may have changed their
mind since then, but I doubt it.
