+1. Maybe / would be good as a separator. It's respecting the directory/file separator, it's also used in the URLs. it's familiar. > Another idea: > have a rectangle box drawn with 3 internal boxes, each for a reference part > (wiki, space, page). I don't like this. Boxes are visual only, and borders aren't really good at being suggestive. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
