Sounds reasonable. However, in our case we have a number of
documents of various types - Word, Excel, TeX, PDF, PowerPoint,
etc. that we want publish to all users of the wiki. It seems very
complicated and error-prone to try to transform all these existing
documents into some JSPWiki format (by plugins?). Instead, it would
be much easier, I think, to keep the documents as they are, and
just launch an appropriate program (in a separate window or tab)
when a user clicks on the name of a document, wanting to have a
closer look.
Why can't you use attachments?
As everyone has pointed out, the blocking of file:// URLs is a
security feature mandated by the browser, and JSPWiki can not
influence it in any way.
