Txt2tags

Questions answered by this recipe

1. How can I use a logical, clean and simpler markup inside pmWiki?
2. How can I use txt2tags tags or reuse txt2tags documents inside pmWiki pages?

Description

This recipe adds txt2tags formatting to the pmWiki markup. Most txt2tags tags are translated to their pmWiki equivalent and then passed through the standard PmWiki engine.

Installation

1. Download the following file: txt2tags.phpΔ and save in your /cookbook directory.
2. Add the following line into your local/config.php script:
   require_once ("cookbook/txt2tags.php");

If you wish to use the GUI icons for edition (included in pmwiki), add also:

$EnableGUIButtons = 1;

And if you want the full GUI icons, download t2tguiedit.zipΔ and unzip it into your root $FarmD directory (it will expand files into cookbook and pub)

It will look like this when editing some text:

In the case the t2tguiedit folder is not found, it will no longer fallback to the default guiedit icons.

For your users, you should edit the /pmwiki/index.php/Site/EditQuickReference and add for example:

Visit [txt2tags' website http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/markup.html] to learn more about the syntax, or use the icons for quick formatting.
