Re: [SMW-devel] toggle on SMWHalo wysiwyg not working

[Stephan R. <ro...@on...>]

Hi Don,

everything inside a <nowiki> <includeonly> etc. will be replaced by a
placeholder icon so that the user realizes he is using some special
mark up. When you click on such an element it gets selected. Then you
can do a right click to reveal the context menu and click on the item
"Special tag properties". There a popup appears with the content that
is inside the special tags, all in plain wiki text.

Let me also write a few words about templates. Inside templates the
wiki markup usually is somewhat more complicated than in an ordinary
page. We did quite some improvements to make the editor not break any
content when switching back from HTML to wiki text. This is the big
issue here because the editor should restore all wikitext back from the
html again. And that's not always easy. I am sure that there might be
still bugs, that make this step fail. So be careful when editing form
definitions or templates with the wysiwyg editor. Also please report
any issue back to us, so that we can fix it.

Best regards, Stephan
