We build every release (at least) since 4.1.2 with it but it is neither functional nor visible in AOO Writer menu. 2.) Broken Wiki pages: Since the upgrade of our Wiki server certain pages are not being displayed. The reason seems to be a *WIKI* extension for syntax highlighting that is incompatible with our server. Andrea knows more about it but apparently he is not available at the moment. Both issues are not fixed until now. > > I checked Bugzilla and found 2 Issues [2],|3] that might be related. > > Is this extension MWiki Extension a Filter? (I got the impression from > Bugs.)
