On the other hand, introducing yet another quasi-random piece of markup syntax is not necessarily the greatest idea either. You can't really just paste code into PhpWiki even now. If you ensure each line is indented, then it works okay, but you still get sporadic WikiLinks... (Note that if one requires comments to start in column zero, then conflicts with cut-and-pasted code are pretty much eliminated.) UseMod has support for <pre></pre> tags which really do disable all markup, and are therefore quite useful for posting code. I wouldn't mind seeing something like this incorporated into PhpWiki. |
