Ok, on the Linux box I was using before, I installed python 2.4.5 from source and moinmoin 1.8.1, and moved the wikis back there. After removing the 4Suite and PyXML rpms and reinstalling them from source, I got the gui editor and render as docbook working at the same time.
I also figured out why Render as DocBook wasn't working with includes. There was a small but important detail I had neglected to mention (and had in fact forgotten about). I had made a small modification to the include macro to cause an "edit" link to appear by the included page's heading: 192,195c192 < macro.formatter.heading(1, level, id=heading) + < "<span style='font-size: .5em'> " + < inc_page.link_to(request, '[%s]' % (_('edit'),), css_class="include-edit-link", querystr={'action': 'edit', 'backto': request._Include_backto}) + < "</span> ", --- > macro.formatter.heading(1, level, id=heading), When I remove that, Render as DocBook works (tho it makes me sad to lose the edit link). Poking around I see that there's an editlink switch for the Include macro, however there's a bug that it doesn't appear when there's a "heading" option included: http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/IncludeEditLinkFails and in any case, I just did some tests and find that using editlink causes the DocBook formatter to fail. What I need to do is something like this (where if not (docbook_mode) is checking to see if we're using the docbook formatter): if not (docbook_mode): result.extend([ macro.formatter.heading(1, level, id=heading) + "<span style='font-size: .5em'> " + inc_page.link_to(request, '[%s]' % (_('edit'),), css_class="include-edit-link", querystr={'action': 'edit', 'backto': request._Include_backto}) + "</span> ", macro.formatter.url(1, url, css="include-heading-link"), macro.formatter.text(heading), macro.formatter.url(0), macro.formatter.heading(0, level), ]) if (docbook_mode): result.extend([ macro.formatter.heading(1, level, id=heading), macro.formatter.url(1, url, css="include-heading-link"), macro.formatter.text(heading), macro.formatter.url(0), macro.formatter.heading(0, level), ]) I see earlier in the file there a line: print_mode = request.action in ("print", "format") But adding a similar line for docbook doesn't work. Is there a way I can tell the name of the current formatter? Anyway, now if I clean up things on the Solaris box and reinstall from python 2.5.4 etc source rather than from packages I should be able to get it to work. I've learned an important lesson about relying on packages from sunfreeware :-) Thanks, David > -----Original Message----- > From: David Cramer > Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 2:50 PM > To: Thomas Waldmann; m...@heavy.ch; moin-user@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Moin-user] 'module' objecthasno > attribute'expat' whensavingfrom gui editor > > Thanks Thomas and Marcel.
