NewFeatures: Chronological entries

This is a log of new features of note in DWiki.


The primary way of getting nested lists is now to indent the nested list entries relative to the parent list (entry). This looks visually better in plain ASCII for cases when there is a decent amount of text.

Although ChrisSiebenmann thought he wasn't going to, the old style of nesting lists (multiple list start characters, eg ***) still works. It turns out the GNU Emacs will properly autoindent for these lists but not for real indented lists, plus sometimes they actually look visually better.

The amount of old-style nesting is ignored in an indented context; it's treated as just a new level.

You can now use LinkAbbrevs by name (not by URL) without a |; ie, instead of writing [[<text>|]], you can just write [[<text>]]. This only happens if <text> wouldn't result in a link to a real page or an external URL if there was no abbreviation.

Thus, one can write [[Google http://www.google.com/]] in the page once, and later write [[Google]], and have it work out.
