I agree we should disable automatic CamelCase detection in the forum. It's unnecessary and cumbersome and nobody ever uses it on purpose.
The tilde is not a workaround; it's an escape character. It is often necessary to escape Creole formatting. I use it all the time to help others with their formatting.
The ++ is used for "Addition" (the opposite of "Deletion", not the mathematical operator) but all it does it provide underline formatting. I recommend we remove the processing for ++ in the forum if that's possible.
Anywhere it has been properly used ++would still look like this++ which IMHO is acceptable. Anywhere it has been misused, like when people try to type "C++", would be corrected. That sounds like a win-win to me.
Here's the markup table from the CreoleHelp for reference:
| Markup | Effect |
|---|---|
| ** | Strong |
| // | Emphasis |
| __ | Underline |
| ^^ | Superscript |
| ,, | Subscript |
| ++ | Addition |
| -- | |
| ## | Monospaced |
| !! | !!Comment!! |
| {{{ }}} | Escape creole |
