I don't want to program, I want to write TEXT. In other words, if I have to write <b>bold text</b> then I can as well do it in a browser. So there ain't no stinkin' HTML as far as I am concerned. Only text. Or - in Squeak terms - only instances of Text. > And even that isn't tough if you don't have people adding > arbitrary HTML from the "edit mode" interface. So what?! Scamper can render these pages, can it?! So all it needs is to provide me that page of text, then allow me to edit it wysiwig-style and post it back to the Swiki. > > Anyone ever thought about this?! > > Indeed. For PWS swiki I had an in squeak swiki editor that used > SwikiSyntax (i.e., an edit mode). Worked great. Well, again, I don't want no "syntax". I'm writing text and text has no syntax other than implied by the language. Cheers, - Andreas
