Okay, yeah, that'll be handy -- but not suitable for my need/desire to make the wiki editable from the console (obviously), as I definitely need to make wiki pages available for editing from the web interface as well. Does the embedded docs feature do markdown formatting? Wait. I'll go look at documentation so you don't have to start answering questions that are easily answered by doing some research. Oh, never mind, the embedded docs won't do me any good, because I use FreeBSD, not GNU/Emacs. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
