If a tag itself contains a space, it should be in quotes. For example {{tag>"foo bar" baz}} will set two tags "foo bar" and "baz". * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:saveandedit - Adds a checkbox to continue editing after the page is saved. * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:nspages - to list all pages in a namespace * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:include - to transclude pages * Using this to include [[python_pages]] as a section in [[notes]] * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:nodisp * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrap * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:qna * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:mathjax * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:move * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:yalist * for | nested lists, definition lists etc., * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:yearbox * using this to maintain a journal in [[:diary:]] * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:const * using this to parameterize the value of ''year'' in pages such as [[:diary:yearbox_2023]], [[:diary:yearbox_2024]] * tags | variable in page content ==== plugins I am exploring ==== * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:tabbox * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:cli ==== plugins I came across ==== https://www.dokuwiki.org/tips:book mentions two plugins that are useful for creating books. * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:bookcreator * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:dw2pdf \\ * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:iframe * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:gh * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:pycode \\ * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:publish \\ https://diyfuturism.com/index.php/2018/01/01/how-to-set-up-a-personal-wiki-with-configuration-for-common-use-cases-like-recipes-and-journaling/ talks about TemplatePageName plugin * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:templatepagename * https://www.dokuwiki.org/namespace_templates ==== conflicting plugins ==== * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:edittable - seems nice. But it is conflicting with https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrap . For example, if I have a cell with a list of items, and if I install the edittable plugin and then try to edit that table, the cell contents are not longer rendered as a list. * Todo:- Try to come up with a small test case and report it upstream. ==== buggy plugins ==== * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:keywords - add keywords to the wiki pages * The keywords are not rendered but you can search on them (expected behaviour). * issues: * https://github.com/i-net-software/dokuwiki-plugin-keywords/issues/1 - Key words with spaces are broken into individual words. For example "foo bar" will become "foo, bar". * Use https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:tag instead. It populates the keywords meta field and does much more. * https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:editsections2 is giving startSectionEdit: $data "section" is NOT an array! One of your plugins needs an update. on all the pages. * Tested using 2012-10-13 version. ==== issues reported by me ==== * https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/issues/3531 - display section numbers in the page and table of contents ==== remove extra line in lists inside table cells ==== tags | lists inside table cells wrap plugin When the WRAP plugin is used to create lists inside table cells, an extra line is added at the end of the list. To remove it, add the following to /etc/dokuwiki/userstyle.css . div.plugin_wrap ul { margin-bottom: 0px; } The new setting will be picked up automatically when the page is refreshed. ==== include code in ordered lists ==== Put the '''' tag on the same line of the item.
