I remember being very confused when certain markups, like (:noleft:), didn't work as expected due to the skin. It might not be necessary to divide into two groups, a simple note on skin pages with "verified to follow PmWiki guidelines" should be enough. (If necessary one could get a pagelist of only verified skins).
A group of "non-verified skins" may put off new users from skins they otherwise think looks good, but one should be able to tell nonetheless. audun _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
