Ben, one difference seems to be that type/doc takes html markup, and type/page uses MarkDown. When I look at the Infogami tutorial (type/doc) in edit mode it appears as html. When I look at, say, the "Writing bots" page (type/page) [1] I see what looks like MarkDown coding.
I admit that I've never mastered MarkDown although, as with other wiki markup rules, those who know it seem to love it. kc [1] http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bots On 3/15/13 5:07 PM, Ben Companjen wrote: > Hi Anand, all, > > I was wondering why there are separate types for "pages" and "docs". > Both types have a title (a string) and a body (of type /type/text), > but it seems that the text in a page is fully transformed from > wikitext to HTML and docs are not, so that effectively, in docs only a > subset of the wikitext is supported. > > I was doing a slight modification of the Infogami tutorial to make > Firefox render it correctly, but noticed that a wikilink like > [[/help]] was not turned into a link.
