I don't want to make it hard to create new pages and link them. I just think that ThisIsVeryUnnatural in the web world. What is wrong with wanting to attach a wiki-like link to readable text? I'm surprised that this has not come up with wiki before. Plus, it can still be a wiki link. They already support "[http://somehost/somelink ThisIsALink]". Plus the wiki processor is already on the lookout for other embedded tags like <pre>, <tt>, etc. So, going to the extra effort of calling out the text to attach a link to isn't much of a leap, in my mind. <wiki-a ref="NormalWikiLikeLink">The text to attach the link to</wiki-a> would get processed into: <a href="http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?NormalWikiLikeLink";>The text to attach the link to</a> If I was more proficient at perl I would have already made a patch. But I'm not, so I haven't. Sorry, but perl is not my bag. Now, if it was a JSP or Java, that would be a different story...:-) -Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
