Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 1
I create a new page with just the basic list of topics on the home page to get us started on re-organizing the data.
Please help flesh out the topics and suggest organizations.

Well to be fair there is a lot more formatting in that line than in the dokuwiki line. The same exact code would work in MW.
Yes, without the extra formatting, the line would be as simple in Mediawiki.
Keeping it true to wiki syntax would make the documentation easy to convert to other formats. I’m not just talking about moving to another wiki or documentation system, but popping up Textbook pages in the admin section. When you’re in the backend creating pages and forms, or you want to dig deeper about a configuration change, you could use the info in the wiki.
Sorry if at times what I write or how I write it, comes off or reads badly. Often, I just write my thoughts down before there’s another distraction that takes them away. Then I come back to the thread and read what I wrote.

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 1
I totally agree with you. Just wanted to point out that it wasn’t a mediawiki vs dokuwiki situation it was just how those pages got formatted.
I should see if I can restrict html and force people to use the wiki text (I’m sure I’ll become very popular)

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 1
I don’t really know any mediawiki code yet and was going to use html. Are there options for emphasis, strong, strong emphasis, code, underline, overline etc in the mediawiki code? Not for the sake of it looking pretty but to aid understanding.

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 1
Here is a textile to mediawiki comparison and here is a slightly more extensive wikitext doc It’s not that different from textile although I do really hate how they do strong and em. Teh textile/markup approach is much more visually distinctive imho.

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 1
Thanks, Patrick, I should have found those myself. I no longer can think of a good reason against restricting html but perhaps leave it until after the reorganisation just in case there’s some html somewhere that is essential?
