Item1686: Add common definition :-| for indifferent to the SmiliesPlugin
Priority: Enhancement
Current State: No Action Required
Released In: n/a
Target Release: n/a
As of now the
SmiliesPlugin pre-configures for indifferent only the version ":-I". This can cause issues if people don't know it and in addition do not immediately realize that it is a capital i instead of |. Sometimes the capital I looks pretty much like the | and can hardly be distinguished if not seen side by side.
So I'd recommend adding to the default configuration of the
SmiliesPlugin the ":-|" version.

The only worry I have is that people will run into trouble with tables.
Just look at an example like
Now is the third | a table divider or part of a Smiley?

Yes, that's probably the main reason why it wasn't added yet. I guess we don't have something to escape the | so it won't be recognized as column separator?
Right now putting it leads to:
Result when defining the emoticon indifferent with the special character for vertical-bar.
Shouldn't we have a way to escape the pipe or vertical bar character?

"indifferent" has been assigned to :I and :-I using an upper case i instead of a pipe symbol.
