Nope. You do not need a special marker, you need to decide how to
record the category. The PmWiki standard is [[!CategoryName]]. Thus,
to use that markup allows you to collect those categories. The regex
is "\[\[!(.*?)\]\]". So, when loading the page['text'] you have
something like (forgive the bad PHP, I've been writing Python lately,
and am in a hurry):
function grab_categories($m) {
global $EditCategories
$EditCategories[] = $m[0];
}
preg_function_callback(grab_categories, $page['text']);
Look at how the Footnotes recipe (have I published it?) works. If you
can't find it, email me off-list and I'll remedy.
We should take the rest of our conversation to pmwiki-dev or off list.
I'll write more later.
