It comes with an editor which allows you to edit the pages anywhere you can access the wiki from and works with the system to provide timestamping and the ability to undo. An external editor would not have that ability with the Wiki. The internal editor allows you to edit files without having direct access to the files on the filesystem, it has security functions to prevent the wrong users for doing so etc... Using an external editor would defeat most of that as well. While I do some page generation, including login.user files from external sources, all of the edits are done in the internal boltwire editor. If it was not usable, I would have moved to something else as that is the whole point. The issues with the \\\ slashes is interesting and I can see how it might be an issue in that a slash is also a delimiter. It is like some of the other special combination of characters that may require some special processing to deal with. I've not seen anything that was a real show stopper where Dan was not able to correct within the system or via a plugin. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
