Hi Seth, All this is very easy as PmWiki is designed to be highly customizable. This page will give you information: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CustomMarkup The standard markup rules are defined in your wiki installation in the file "scripts/stdmarkup.php". You can see which rule does what, and to disable it, just do in your config.php: DisableMarkup("''"); // disable '' for italics To change the special markup characters, you copy the rule from stdmarkup.php to config.php and change it: // Markup("''",'inline',"/''(.*?)''/",'<em>$1</em>'); // in stdmarkup.php Markup("''",'inline',"/\\|\\|(.*?)\\|\\|/",'<em>$1</em>'); // changing to || The above command will replace the '' markup with || so you can write in ||italics||. (No need to disable it first, as you use the same entry "''".) Note that this one is a *bad* choice as || is used for simple tables, so you should pick another special string. Also note that these are regular expressions, and some characters need to be escaped with \\ : |[](){}.*+\/^$ as I did in my example. More about PHP's regular expressions: http://fr.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php > > In terms of the invalid xhtml, it would be nice to simply disregard an > opening tag of any sort if it does not close before a tag it should be > nested in does, so that there would never be anything like: > <tag1>...<tag2>...</tag1>...</tag2>. Thats a big no-go. > PmWiki usually does this one correctly, except when an editor (you) deliberately enters incorrect markups, as in: This is '''a bold text ''and some italic''' only italic''. (will output:) This is <strong>a bold text <em>and some italic</strong> only italic</em>. So, don't do it and tell your editors not to.
