Subject: GitWiki: GUI editing and Wikipedia-like syntax incompatibile
Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2007 01:37:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200708300137.35000.jnareb@gmail.com> (raw)
Pasky, could you please either turn off GUI editing on GitWiki, or make
it compatibile with Wikipedia-like syntax.
With Wikipedia-like syntax we denote links by [[link]], and macros by
{{macro}} (for example {{BR}} and {{TableOfContents(2)}}). In default
MoinMoin syntax _macros_ use [[macro]] syntax, and you use ["link"] to
force non-CamelCase link.
Editing page which uses Wikipedia-like syntax with GUI editing makes the
following changes:
[[CamelCase]] --> CamelCase
[[Link]] --> ["Link"]
(this is not much trouble, beside fact that everyone is used to
Wikipedia syntax)
[[Link|the link]] --> [:Link:the link]
(much less people understand MoinMoin notation that Wikipedia pipe link)
{{Macro}} --> [[Macro]]
(which causes macro to be displayed as link to nowehere and DO NOT
WORK!!!)
Camel``Case --> Camel{{{}}}Case
(a bit harder to read).
To everybody else: please avoid GUI editing till it is corrected. TIA.
