Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Facilitating recipes with phpwiki

[Joby W. <joby@u.washington.edu>]

Margie,

1) HTML input already exists.  The RawHtml plugin will give you the 
ability to include Html -- but this is dangerous since people can easily 
mangle the pages, and do other more nasty things

2) Single linebreaks == linebreak.  Although this is intuitive, this 
would make the source for many of us less readable, as Russ Miller 
suggested ordered/unordered lists would work for a lot and having two 
returns for an end of paragraph is not that hard to figure out.

3) The location of your navigation buttons are all determined by the 
template files in:  themes/<profile>/templates/ .   Modifying them has 
been covered many times on this list.
