I don't know about the rendering, but I have some ideas about the other
two problems.

I've found that when the Swiki parser can't figure out some tags, things
get chopped out.  Try putting some malformed asterisks into a page (like
*this**) and mix it in with some HTML (like <b>*this**</b>).  What you
save isn't what you get back.  I think that's what's happening with HTML
in the title area.

I've found similar issues with authentication.  It seems to be a
browser-specific issue how smart it is about remembering authentication
for accessing different media from the same website.  Some are worse
than others and require re-entering authentication several times.

Subject: [Pws] Swiki Rendering, codes in titles, launching MediaPlayer

I have several  issues that maybe somebody has some thoughts on.

First, I'm trying to render a site of some 950 pages and it won't
render. 
In past verisions, generally a few pages would render and I could find
an error in the next page that I could fix. However, no pages are
showing up in the rendered folder. I've move the swiki to a different
machine, also running one of these days. (The first machine is Windows
Server 2003 and the second is XP), and I still haven't gotten it to
render. When I turn on the log, it just fills up with "forbidden"
messages as though I have a permissions problem. However, in the browser
it properly accepts the username and password used for rendering and
never asks for them again. The explorer icon will spin and spin, and the
log file will fill up with the same message indicating a permissions
problem. Any suggestions? The swiki runs One Of These Days and is based
on refs.

The second has to do with the title of the page. We are working with
middle school students and it takes them about 10 minutes to start
putting code in the title. This isn't a problem (unless they fail to
properly close the
tag) but when the page is edited again it doesn't have the proper
opening tag in the title box. Any hints on curing that problem?

Third, we are running into an interesting IE permissions issue when view
videos. Our fifth graders are creating short podcasts based on their
research and uploading them to their swiki. It's a password protected
site where the default is deny all. Each student has his own ID and has
upload ability. Our issue is that when an MP3 link is selected,
MediaPlayer opens (good), but then a password box pops up that requires
that the authentication information to be entered again. However with
Firefox, MediaPlayer still opens, but does not ask for a password box.
Any ideas on this issue?

Thanks,

Derrel
