hm, but ALL of my template content is within that includeonly tag. And you're
saying here the contents only show up within the "Special tag properties"
pop-up, which gives me only a small window to work in, and only as wikitext.
So really, I can't edit a template at all with the wysiwyg editor. Which is too
bad, as most of my work is in the templates.
I get that it's hard; one of the problems with distributed, open-source,
modular
developement is the left hand not always knowing what the right is doing.
FCKEditor needing to be "aware" of all possible syntax used for all the other
modules. You guys are doing great; I was really impressed to see the "add
special tag" button, which shows even the functions I created myself (though,
we
should find a way to show the parameters as well; otherwise you have to go to
the docs/code anyways, and it defeats the purpose).
But, my goal for the SMW is to create a code-less enviroment for a particular
class of user. Like what you might get working with an advanced CMS. SMWHalo is
getting us very close to that.
Thanks again.
Don

Hi Don,
everything inside a <nowiki> <includeonly> etc. will be replaced by a
placeholder icon so that the user realizes he is using some special
mark up. When you click on such an element it gets selected. Then you
can do a right click to reveal the context menu and click on the item
"Special tag properties". There a popup appears with the content that
is inside the special tags, all in plain wiki text.
Let me also write a few words about templates. Inside templates the
wiki markup usually is somewhat more complicated than in an ordinary
page. We did quite some improvements to make the editor not break any
content when switching back from HTML to wiki text. This is the big
issue here because the editor should restore all wikitext back from the
html again. And that's not always easy. I am sure that there might be
still bugs, that make this step fail. So be careful when editing form
definitions or templates with the wysiwyg editor. Also please report
any issue back to us, so that we can fix it.
Best regards, Stephan
