All,
Lex and I have had a little bit of off-line conversation about his document, the Build System User Guide. He suggested that I put it on the wiki.
I made a feeble attempt, and now recommend instead that, at least on a temporary basis, it be put on the geany.org website with one or more links from the wiki to the document. This is because: * the document is a fully formed, standalone HTML document * and, in that form, is not directly "pastable" into the wiki
Instead, unless I'm missing something, it would have to be copied and pasted in as plain text, and then marked up with DokuWiki markup.
The sourcecode of this document looks pretty much like generated code.
<meta name="generator" content="AsciiDoc 8.6.4" />
Maybe Lex could use the original and put it into wiki as I don't think having another standalone document is making much sense when we already started to have a wiki as storing such things was the intention behind IIRC.
Hi Frank
I said it was generated from asciidoc in my first post :-)
The reason for that is that it was started a long while ago when there was no mention of the wiki, I just finished it prompted by the recent misunderstandings.
It is normal for wikis to link to material in other formats, fully formed HTML, PDF etc. A quick look at the docuwiki manual (when desperate RTFM) shows that it handles lots of mime types but due to security risks HTML is disabled by default.
@Enrico, So I guess the question is how do we handle that? Do you want to have to give people HTML upload permission individually giving you more work, or do you want to keep it disabled. I can easily provide the document in PDF.
I would like to keep embedded HTML and especially PHP code disabled in the Wiki, not only because of security reasons, also because it would cause mixing different markups in the Wiki, we already disagreed on this regarding ReST and Markdown syntax support in the Wiki, it's pretty much the same for HTML.
Or I can provide the source in asciidoc, if someone wants to convert it to docuwiki, but I'm unlikely to do that.
This is what I would prefer, so if you share the source, I'd convert it.
Regards, Enrico
