I did the TinyMCE integration and worked with it I have got two problems with it 1) It is difficult to integrate the link attribute 2) You have problems with the <nowiki> and the <verbatim> So tinyMCE or whatever similar you come up with is nice eye-candy almost fantastic for a "dummy" user but not very practical for the reasons I mentioned above. I found it easer to start up my trusty html editor and write my documentation there. Because of the link attribute and references to tickets, checkins,...* an implementation of Textile, Markdown,creole, ....* isn't just a plugin system. It needs to connect to fossil so we are talking an implementation. Basically my (maybe THE) criticism is that there are very few advantages to use wiki formatting and writing substantial amounts of html in a textarea isn't, Hmmmm, Nice. I understand that reimplementing wiki syntax will break all wiki pages. Doing it later make more pages break. Richard you are the "benevolent dictator" so say NO or YES and let put this discussion to an end (and the bike shredding :-) (Maybe you should say NO because the bike shredding starts all over with Textile, Markdown, creole,...* :-) -- Rene de Zwart _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
