@ Tags
@ tags have become a social media standard. Also, explaining to newbies how to use WritingML - especially for contest entries - has been an ongoing battle for years. What if we had @ tags that replaced {suser:} and {bitem:} or {ritem:}? It would be intuitive syntax. The @ symbol should prompt handles and titles, not usernames and item numbers, to be consistent with the Internet standard. After the @ symbol, once you start typing a few letters, a list of suggestions would pop up in a drop-down menu.

Cheers,
Michelle
