2005-06-11 A DWiki page (technically, any wikitext, so comments too) can now
start with the line ' This is a much more convenient and maintainable way to stick plaintext files (such as program source or something) into a DWiki than indenting the entirity of their text one space. Note that this does not make the page come out as text/plain. The page is still text/html and fully templated, it's just that the wikitext is one big <pre> lump, instead of more sophisticated formatting. It's unlikely that DWiki will acquire any other sorts of pragmas (eg to say 'format this as nicely HTML-ized Python code'), partly because ChrisSiebenmann is dubious about the 'nicely HTML-ized' bit of any formatters since they invariably involve aesthetic decisions that people (eg, him) can and do object to. Having an easy way of including plaintext is the 80%-90% solution, and that is the DWiki way.

This is a log of new features of note in DWiki. This is more text, so that we will run down the side of the page and I can see if things collide madly as they probably will. I hate layout. |
