This is a log of new features of note in DWiki.
DWiki now supports generating links to URLs on the wiki's web server that are outside the DWiki itself. These are written as links in the format
<...>
and have to happen inside[[...]]
. For example:See [[the root of this web server|</>]].generates a link to the DWiki's web server's root, which is all but certain to be outside the DWiki space if you're running DWiki as a CGI-BIN.
DWiki now remembers the name and URL for links that you write with
[[...|...]]
and thereafter allows you to omit one side of the|
, at which point it will fill in the remembered values. This means that if you want to link to Google a lot in your document, you only have to write (eg) the URL once, and can thereafter refer to Google much more compactly.This does collide a little bit with using
[[...|]]
to write totally unstyled text: it only comes out unstyled if it's not already been used as the name of a link.For now I will live with that.
