I see your point, but I'm not sure that I agree. My intention was that most users should be able to discover documentation about what capabilities an optionally-installed recipe offers and how to use them. For example, an additional markup rule. At the moment, casual users can discover core features through the DocumentationIndex but there is no standardised way for them learn about additional capabilities. With a [[!PmWiki recipe]] category on each recipe's documentation page (if such a page is included), it is easy to provide a RecipeIndex. There may be another way to do this that is as simple, but I am unable to think of one. > > <snip> > > To consider allowing administration to bleed into the category group... > that's madness... I hope my response has clarified that I am proposing helpful information for authors will be made more accessible by using categories. I agree that we should be cautious about using categories to describe information of interest only to a narrow subset of users, such as site administrators. > Or maybe this is like all those twilight zone episodes, and we're all > supposed to have pig faces! ;) > > Mike > JR _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
