@cqm:

You don't really need to submit the whole thing as an argument to an infobox. I'm not really sure who spread that misconception. You can embed it into the portable infobox and use the tag parser function to obtain whatever you need. In fact you can make it parse whatever format you want using lua or a simple template to create the gallery or tabber, see:


 * w:c:portability:Portable Infobox/Syntax

I still agree with you that they should provide an easy to use syntax so that  inexperienced editors can still make their infoboxes functional with minimal effort.

@Moviesign:

Getting around the delimiter issue is easy, one could adopt a similar syntax to json or something else:


 * image1 ={example.png,  label = example, caption = whatever}

Or


 * image2 =example2.png,  label = example2 , caption = whatever2

my-Image3.png, label =my-Label3, caption = my-caption3

or

my-Image3.png,  my-Label3  |  my-caption3

Another option is to use heredoc syntax.
