Re: [Phpwiki-talk] New link icons added

[Carsten K. <car...@ma...>]

Hmm yes... links without square brackets, an oversight on my part. 
Actually at first I didn't like them but now I'm using them all the time :
-] [][][][][][][].

I'll have to figure out what else needs to be patched to get un-bracketed 
links to display icons. I do think that if link icons are enabled then 
Wiki should treat all links consistently, irregardless of the LinkMethod.


One reason I use Wiki, besides for storing personal notes, it to prototype 
web pages. In fact most of the html code on my web site was generated by 
PhpWiki.

Link icons do disrupt the flow of text and can be distracting for normal 
Wiki use, but I like them on my web pages. With a few more adjustments to 
the code, link icons could indicate the file type of a link instead of the 
protocol, such as a ZIP or gz file--which is a very useful visual 
indicator and common practice for indicating downloads on (non-wiki) web 
pages.
