No. It uses templating because a wiki is by nature dynamic. The HTML templates are 99% HTML, and 1% "%VARIABLE%". For the users, it does use its own "markup" if you don't want to learn HTML, but TWiki, at least, accepts HTML as well. Add <b>bold</b> and it will work. Use *bold* and it works, too. > I would not recommend Wiki unless you are already familiar with it. The purpose of wiki: a place where documents can be modified, grown, and solidified in a very quick fashion w/ multiple editors who are geographically distant, and where such documentation should be web-available EASILY. Sorta like what we're talking about here. > Maybe there are other varieties of Wiki that are more friendly to people > who already know html and want to use Wiki with a little subltlety If you want, you can edit the doc in HTML then just copy/paste it into the wiki. I wouldn't recommend it, because it would make editing and collaboration difficult. Instead, type it up as if markup didn't exist, sorta like email. *bold*, _italic_, and such. Things that should be second-nature if you have worked in text-only mediums before. If you want to get crazy and do table of contents, tables, dynamic colourisation, and complex formatting, then you gotta learn extra stuff which I wouldn't think documentation really needs a lot of anyway. -- Tim Ellis Senior Database Architect Gamet, Inc. _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
