Re: [xwiki-users] A question about XWiki concept

[Steven Calkins]

Dear Marius,

Xwiki is quite complex so the recommendation to read up on the 
development guide is probably a wise one. If you can save your lectures in PDF 
format then the following quick solution might help with part of your problem:

1. Create a space in Xwiki called PDFs.
2. Create a Document in that space called, e.g. genericPDFs
3. Insert the following code in the Edit wiki mode: Edit.Wiki
===  (COPY and PASTE THE FOLLOWING LINES) 
===
{{velocity}}
  #set($l=$doc.getAttachmentList())
  #if ($l.size()  0)
 #set($attach=${l.get(0)}) ## this always takes only the first attachment, 
so increment this zero to change the attachment being selected
 #set($fname=${attach.getAttachment().getFilename()})
 #set ($url=$doc.getAttachmentURL($fname))
 {{html}}iframe name=PDF src=$url width=95% height=800 
//body{{/html}}
   #end
{{/velocity}}
===

For every new page you create, edit it in Wiki mode inserting:
===  (COPY and PASTE THE FOLLOWING LINE) 
===
{{include document=genericPDFs}}
===
Attach the PDF to the page, and no matter how the PDF attachment is named, the 
attachment is shown. You can call genericPDFs something else, just be sure the 
name of the page corresponds to the the reference on the previous line. 

Kind regards,

Steven Calkins

Betreff: [xwiki-users] A question about XWiki concept

Hey guys. I'm still having trouble figuring out the XWiki platform. I have a 
project to do. The main goal is publish information about lectures and allow 
users to register to those lectures. 
The headache for me is, how to connect these things. I mean in normal php/mysql 
project I would know how to do it, there is some tables, I add information of 
the user and when I need that information I just make a query. What could be 
the methods to do that in XWiki? How to connect that specific user has 
registered to that lecture? What would be the best way to store that kind of 
information?

Thank you in advance

Re: [xwiki-users] Howto? attachment pdf link with page anchorxxxx.pdf#page=255

[Steven Calkins]

Hi Volker,

Try something like:

{{velocity}}
#set($url=) ## set the URL in this line between the quotation marks
#set($page=) ## set the page number here between the quotation marks
{{html}}iframe name=PDF src=$url#page=${page} width=95% height=800 
//body{{/html}}

{{/velocity}} 


In a somewhat more complex scenario a similar solution works for me. I use the 
iframe HTML tag to display the PDF reader for the Mozilla browser. A separate 
page (Main.Params) has a variable I set with the value of the tag clicked from 
the tag cloud. The result is that the iframe line induces Adobe Reader to 
search for my cloud tag term in the PDF directly. This looks like the following:

 START CODE 

{{velocity}}
  $xwiki.jsfx.use(js/xwiki/tooltip.js)
{{/velocity}}

{{html}}

head
title$doc.name/title
/head
body title=$doc.name

{{/html}}

{{velocity}}
  #set($docParams=$xwiki.getDocument(Main, Params))   ## get the XWIKI 
document I use to save the variable searchTag (Main.Params)
  #set($tag = $!{docParams.get(searchTag)})   ##Extract the value of the 
searchTag parameter
  $!{docParams.set(searchTag, )}   ##set the search tag back to , since 
we now have retrieved its value into $tag
  #set($l=$doc.getAttachmentList())
  #if ($l.size()  0)
 #set($attach=${l.get(0)})   ## I use the first attachment in the document 
to be displayed
 #set($fname=${attach.getAttachment().getFilename()})
 #set ($url=$doc.getAttachmentURL($fname))
 #if(${tag.length()}0)
{{html}}iframe name=PDF src=$url#search=${tag} width=95% 
height=800 //body{{/html}} ##the search term has been set, search in the 
PDF for the term
 #else
{{html}}iframe name=PDF src=$url width=95% height=800 
//body{{/html}} ##the search term has not been set, just display the PDF
 #end
   #end
{{/velocity}}
== END OF CODE 

Please remember that you need to make sure that the Adobe Reader is relatively 
new for this to work.


In the (now older) XWiki Enterprise 2.1.1.25889, which I am using, the TagCloud 
page needs to be changed too:
== PART OF MAIN.TAGS 
===

#if($do == 'viewTag')
  ##
  ## View tag
  ##
  #displayTagAppTitle($tag true)
  #if($!{request.get('renamedTag')} != '')
#info($msg.get('xe.tag.rename.success', [$request.get('renamedTag')]))
  #end
  #set ($list = $xwiki.tag.getDocumentsWithTag($tag))
  div
div id=dashboardleft
  div id=dashboardleftcontent
h3 class=xappspan$msg.get('xe.tag.alldocs', [$tag])/span/h3
## Here is the change. I cut out parts that might confuse you so if it 
doesn't work, you may need to tinker a bit...:-)
#set($docParams=$xwiki.getDocument(Main, Params))
$!{docParams.set(searchTag, $tag)}  ## Set the variable here, but 
don't forget to return it to  after retrieving it.
##
== END OF CODE 


Maybe all this helps.

Kind regards, 

Steven Calkins

Re: [xwiki-users] WG: Xeclipse plugin

[Steven Calkins]

Fabio,

The  Xeclipse plugin that I installed did not install 2 of the views 
shown on website: The XWiki Page Editor and the XWiki Object Editor are 
missing. I have only the XWiki Navigator and the XWiki preview available in 
Eclipse. 

I also installed the full version of Xeclipse as a separate application 
and it works fine. All the elements are there, and the syntax highlighting in 
Xwiki syntax is available. 

Greetings,

Steven Calkins

 A bit more to the issue: I just renamed the strange page from Panels.Recently 
 Modified* to Panels.Recently Modified2 and the grabbing finished without an 
 error. Still there is no list of pages under the Panels node in the Xwiki 
 Eclipse Navigator.
 
 In another space I have -- Glossary -- and -- Views -- as page names. I 
 sort the pages using $sorttool.sort(), but I wanted these to be at the top 
 although they would not be alphabetically sorted there. So I added the -- 
 before and after. Of course I could just manually enter them into the panel, 
 but now the panel space seems to be correctly grabbed despite the unusual 
 name that occurs there. 
 
Steven,

Yes. I see two different kinds of exceptions in the stack trace: 

Caused by: 
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: 
Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

and

Caused by: org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.ResourceException: * is an 
invalid character in resource name 'Panels.Recently Modified*'.

But I cannot tell more without having a debugger in front of me.

Thanks.

Hi Steven,

Yes, as Thomas just replied, XEclipse works with Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) and 
above.

Latest version of Eclipse is 3.5 (Galileo).

Your 3.3.2 eclipse installation is most likely the cause of the problem and I 
recommend, if possible, to upgrade your eclipse installation, otherwise you 
will most likely be unable to use XEclipse.

I have updated
http://xeclipse.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Installation with this 
information and made the adjustments you pointed out regarding the unzip 
directory.

Thanks for reporting the documentation problem and I hope the eclipse upgrade 
fixes the problem, otherwise feel free to ask for help.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Steven,

apparently there is some encoding problem that makes the XML parser explode. 
Probably some pages that have strange characters in the title/id.

Do you have such a kind of pages in the space you were trying to open?
Could you give us them so that we can reproduce and fix what apparently is a 
bug?

Thanks,
Fabio

Re: [xwiki-users] Can't add users to groups anymore after update from XWiki Enterprise1.9 to 2.0 and XAR reimport

[Steven Calkins]

Thank you Sergiu, for your prompt answer.  

I checked for the enterprise XARs in the maven 2.0 snapshot respository (e.g. 
http://maven.xwiki.org/snapshots/com/xpn/xwiki/products/xwiki-enterprise-wiki/2.0-SNAPSHOT/xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0-20091118.003714-228.xar
 ) and in the 2.1 snapshot repository (e.g. 
http://maven.xwiki.org/snapshots/com/xpn/xwiki/products/xwiki-enterprise-wiki/2.1-SNAPSHOT/xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.1-20091118.001902-254.xar
 ). Neither number corresponded to the version installed on our intranet 
website (XE 2.0.3.24848). Is there a danger installing the later version? Or is 
the dafault XAR located somewhere else?

Greetings,

Steven Calkins

Hi,

this is already taking care in the colibri cleanup - so if you are taking the 
latest 2.1 snapshot is ok.

The thing is that you need for the #xwikicontent an overflow:auto; property 
(add this to your toucan.css or colibri.css).

[xwiki-users] Display difficulties with XWiki Enterprise 2.0.3.24848 - Toucan skin not shown

Dear All,

We just updated to XWiki Enterprise 2.0.3.24848 for internal
documentation and are having difficulties with the display. We use the
toucan skin from version 1.9. When users log-in, they see the site
without our skin. When the admins log-in, the skin is there. What is the
problem? The login is also without the skin. Is the skin cached in the
browser?

Re: [xwiki-users] Display difficulties with XWiki Enterprise2.0.3.24848 - Toucan skin not shown -- Addendum: user rights issue

[Steven Calkins]

Hi Jean,
 I believe I found part of the error. Despite importing each page from 
the old wiki, the Xwiki web preferences skin entry was blank.

Still an error is returned when I open the rights page:
XWiki Rights Class
Failed to execute macro: velocity 

I notice now that despite giving the groups the right to view certain spaces, 
when I log-in as such a user, the spaces are not visible.

Any ideas?

[xwiki-users] WG: Latex {cases} command doesn't work in default xwiki 2.0 formula macro

Dear Sergiu,

The image I sent made the message to large. If you would like to see the 
rendering I would be glad to send it to you. Simply put, the code you supplied 
still doesn't work even though I copied and pasted your code directly into my 
wiki 2.0 page.

 Hi Sergiu,
 
   I tried your example after changing the line 
 macro.formula.renderer in the properties file back to 
 nativeand restarting xwiki. Sadly it still didn't work on 
 my machine. So what is different on your machine compared to 
 mine? (Do you perhaps have a developing environment which 
 automatically finds the proper TeX parts?) I just copied and 
 pasted your example. The rendered results are seen in the 
 attached screenshot. I'm not sure that attachments get 
 through to you, but if you can view it, you can see that the 
 formulae are rendered, just the cases command is not 
 executed. I'm still using a SKIN from 1.9. on XWiki 
 Enterprise 2.0.3.24848, running on postgres but I believe 
 that should be irrelevant. Here's my code:
 
 START XWIKI CODE ==
 
 === Continuation and cases===
 This example from wikipedia doesn't seem to work:
 {{formula fontSize=normal}}
 f(x) = \begin{cases}1  \mbox{-1 \le x  0\par} \\ 
 \frac{1}{2}  \mbox{x = 0} \\ 1 - x^2  
 \mbox{otherwise\par}\end{cases} {{/formula}}
 
 Example from Sergiu
 {{formula}}
 f(x) =
   \begin{cases}
   1  -1 \le x \le 0 \\
   \frac{1}{2}  x = 0 \\
   1 - x^2  \mbox{otherwise}
   \end{cases}
 {{/formula}}
 
 
 Case definitions
 
 Used when a definition has two or more cases. Use the case 
 statement. Notice that the spaces after the instances of if 
 were included inside the mbox declarations.
 
 {{formula fontSize=normal}}f(n) = \begin{cases} n/2,  
 \mbox{if } n\mbox{ is even} \\ 3n+1,  \mbox{if } n\mbox{ is 
 odd} \end{cases}{{/formula}}
 
 Third try
 {{formula fontSize=normal}}f(n) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l l}
   n/2  \quad \text{if $n$ is even}\\
   -(n+1)/2  \quad \text{if $n$ is odd}\\ \end{array} 
 \right.{{/formula}}

 OK, it seems that the default renderer is the native one, so 
 there was no need to change it.
 
 I tried your example, and actually there's a problem with the 
 formula. 
 The code from your mail causes the native renderer to fail 
 because there's a syntax error, specifically the first mbox 
 contains \le, which is only valid in math mode. This works fine:
 
 {{formula}}
 f(x) =
   \begin{cases}
   1  -1 \le x \le 0 \\
   \frac{1}{2}  x = 0 \\
   1 - x^2  \mbox{otherwise}
   \end{cases}
 {{/formula}}
 
  I was a little surprised that I had to add a line in the 
 WEB-INF/xwiki.properties file and not uncomment a line and 
 change its value, as you do in most cases. Could it be that I 
 have an older config file or is the line in 
 WEB-INF/xwiki.properties not available yet in the newest 
 version? I used the config from the download, and changed 
 only those values that pertained to my earlier system settings.
 
 My fault, I forgot to add this setting in the template that 
 generates xwiki.cfg.

 Any suggestions?

The cases environment is not standard TeX, it belongs to the amsmath package. 
This means that it is not supposed to work using the default backend. It should 
work with the native one, which uses the amsmath package, and you could try 
using the mathtran one. If you decide to change the backend, you'll find 
instructions in the last paragraph on

 Any suggestions?

The cases environment is not standard TeX, it belongs to the amsmath package. 
This means that it is not supposed to work using the default backend. It should 
work with the native one, which uses the amsmath package, and you could try 
using the mathtran one. If you decide to change the backend, you'll find 
instructions in the last paragraph on

Re: [xwiki-users] table border in xwiki

[Steven Calkins]

Hi, 

We had the same difficulty and resolved it by writing the style of each 
cell element locally, this had the effect of overriding the earlier settings of 
Xwiki. If there is a more elegant solution without overriding the entire CSS of 
Xwiki, I'd like to know.

Greetings,

Steven Calkins

Re: [xwiki-users] FAQTutorial broken in 1.9

[Steven Calkins]

Hi Vincent, hi Zeljko,

I initially got the same results as Zeljko when I tried it. It took me three or 
four tries before I got it right. The trouble is that so many things are going 
on at once. I don't exactly remember how I solved it, but I remember that the 
problem I had was changing the places in the macros correctly to correspond 
with my needs. I would just encourage you, Zelko, to continue trying and you 
will get it.

Reading the concepts of Xwiki helped me, as well as just playing around with 
XWiki. If you mess things up you can in the history editor just roll back. 
After a while the parts begin to fit together. If you are familiar with Java's 
Class - Object paradigm, it will help too. Objects are just concrete examples 
of the classes you create along with their properties and methods. Xwiki seems 
to me to have this concept as well, with the added difficulty that the template 
pages are added to separate display from content. In IT circles this concept of 
separating those aspects of an application is called MVC for 
Model-View-Controller. That's why so much is happening. Until I got that, 
Xwiki was a bit confusing for me too.

That's a bit abstract, I know, but I am convinced that checking into the deeper 
functioning of Xwiki is rewarding and will help when making new applications on 
top of the Xwiki engine. The FAQ I have is created on the page as shown in the 
tutorial, but to edit it after creation you need to go to the Object editor. 
Then you are with the concrete examples of the class you created. 

Vincent, it might help us who are new at Xwiki to take a screenshot of the page 
where the FAQ macro is shown and color-hightlight the items to be changed. That 
would avoid some of the confusion I think. Just an idea...

Regards,

Steven Calkins

Re: [xwiki-users] problem connceting to openoffice server

[Steven Calkins]

 
Hi Paul,

Initially we had problems connecting to the open office server too. Once we 
checked the Tomcat5.5\logs folder we found the complete error message in 
stderr_[DATE].log. [DATE] represents the date the error occurred. We searched 
the file and found an incorrect path to open office. Once we corrected that in 
the configuration, it worked without any windows service starting.

In Xwiki at [YOUR 
DOMAIN]/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladminsection=XWiki.OfficeImporterAdmin
 you can edit these settings (also in the WEB-INF/xwiki.properties file). We 
just used the windows paths with a forward slash as the following settings 
show. 

Server type: Internally managed (local)

Server port: 8100

Auto start: Yes

Server path: C:/Programme/OpenOffice.org 3  ((Use your path, ours here is 
on a German language windows))

Server profile: C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All 
Users/Anwendungsdaten/OpenOffice.org/3  ((Use your path, ours here is on a 
German language windows))

Server state: Connected  ((This shows that the open office server is 
working))

Be sure to restart Tomcat and then the windows service is superfluous. 

Greetings,

Steven Calkins

Christophe FRAULE wrote:
 Hello,
 
  
 
 I'm a newbie with XWiki and I'm mostly experimenting with it so see if 
 and how we could use it internally.
 
  
 
 I'm running XWiki 1.9.3.22597 on Tomcat6 with Fedora 11/MySQL 5.1.37 
 and had encountered no particular problem except that I have to launch 
 and run the OpenOffice server externally on a regular account because 
 it would not start when launched by XWiki. I suspect it's a memory 
 access right issue because launching manually from the tomcat account 
 I get this
 
  
 
 -sh-4.0$ /usr/bin/soffice -headless
 -accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp; -nofirststartwizard

 creation of executable memory area failed: Permission denied
 
  
 
 It's just the way the tomcat account is set I believe. (Seeing no 
 xwiki user, I assume xwiki is using the tomcat account to launch soffice).
 
  
 
 I have 3 x questions regarding XWiki:
 
  
 
 1)  We want to use 'spaces' (no virtual XWiki) to create boundaries
 between what users can see. I have created Space A, User A and 
 configured access rights so that User A can access Space A only. The 
 problem is that when User A log into XWiki, XWiki returns and error 
 message because User A tries to land on the main page =
 
 a.   Can we configure XWiki so that User A automatically lands on Space
 A when login ? If yes, how ?

You can write a little script instead of the default content of Main.WebHome, 
one which computes the right space for the current user, and redirects there. 
Something like:

#set($space = $context.user.substring($context.user.indexOf('.')))
#set($space = ${space.substring(1)}.WebHome)
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL($space))

 b.  I assume also that performing a search User A will not be able to
 see anything out of his user space A. Right ?

It depends. The default search pages filter documents according to the user 
rights, but a user can write his own query to retrieve all document names, 
although he won't be able to access the content of those documents. If document 
names should also be private, it can easily be fixed by changing the Java code 
a bit (and actually it should).

 
 2)  I have made a quick Groovy/SQL test polling a rather large table out
 of an external database and displaying the result into HTML on XWiki.
 Scrolling down the dynamically generated XWiki HTML table, I suddenly 
 got into a black hole or let's say the end of the XWiki web page =
 
 a.What is the way in XWiki to control the maximum length/size (or
 maximum characters ?) of a Web page ?

The limit for the document content is a soft one: at least 200k characters, 
which is rounded up to the equivalent database data type, which for MySQL 
becomes mediumtext, large enough to hold 16M. Then, there is the max packet 
size, which is configured on the server, and it is not set by XWiki.

I've had this problem as well, but only with very long pages. If e.g. an html 
page is very long, a black hole appears in XWiki, but not when viewed directly 
in Firefox. -- Steven Calkins

If you're talking about a skin issue, meaning that the page suddenly ends, I 
think somebody else reported a similar problem a long time ago, but I don't 
remember what was the cause, and whether it was fixed or not. Can you be more 
specific about what's happening?

 
 3)  Is it possible to programmatically add pages into Xwiki based on the
 content of an external database. The idea here is to run a script (via Xwiki
 scheduler ?) to pull records out of an external database. For each (new)
 record, then a new XWiki page would be created which users could edit to
 bind their own additional pieces of information. When a database record is
 deleted, the corresponding XWiki pages would be move to the 'gone' space.
 

Yes, it is possible, but this requires more time to write. A few 
pointers: there is an SQL plugin for XWiki which allows you to connect 
to an external database, there is the task scheduler which allows you to 
execute jobs at a given time/period, and the API allows you to 
manipulate documents as you like: create, rename, change, delete, etc.

Re: [xwiki-users] About the open office server

[Steven Calkins]

Francisco,

Maybe you could explain to your Admins that the functionality is needed 
and request that they would please install OO on the server. Then they should 
tell you the URL to the installation in relation to your application server. 
You can enter this in Xwiki and I imagine it should work. Once that is done you 
won't need any access to it, provided you start it with your Xwiki. We run OO 
as a server that way and have no problems with it. If we ever do have problems 
we will just restart Tomcat to fix things.

Sometimes we have to sell our ideas in our own firms to get things 
done. Most Admins would be obliging once they understand the issue, and realize 
it is safe. 

If the other server has a share on the application server, OO can be 
accessed that way too, provided the share has the privileges to do what you 
need. Then you need the path as seen from the wiki.

Regards,

Steven Calkins

Re: [xwiki-users] Issue with the Import an Office documentfunctionality

Hi Chaudier, 

I tried it and you're right. It seems to be a bug. A workaround I found is to 
edit it changing the Syntax to version 1 and back to version 2 again. Then it 
works correctly, at least for the small snippets of text I used.

Re: [xwiki-users] Selective space export

Hallo Francisco,

I recently exported my entire database for the first time. I noticed that when 
you import the XAR file there are checkboxes that permit you to leave out what 
you want. Is that what you need? Xwiki permits choosing which spaces to import, 
but the choice is on the import side not the export side. To export the entire 
DB you need to have Admin rights, though.

[xwiki-users] A workaround for a PDF rendering problem

[Steven Calkins]

Dear XWiki users,

I just wanted to share a workaround for a PDF rendering problem. I was
copying and pasting html from a knowledgeroot system into xwiki. In the
process I was changing the image paths to relative URLs. Normally
nothing speaks against using the absolute URLs, but we may need to move
the wiki soon, so I decided that relative paths are better. They display
fine in Xwiki Enterprise, but then the disappointment came when I tried
the PDF print. The first image appeared but the following were empty! So
I needed an absolute path which I can change easily if we move the wiki.

I went into the xwiki/skins/Albatross/template directory to the the
xwikivars.vm file and added a variable of the form:
#set($domain = http://domain:port;) After adding it, I saved the file,
restarted Tomcat and tested by typing somewhere in a page $domain.
That took care of it. The PDFs were just fine now.  Now I can replace
the relative URL everywhere by ${domain}/[ here relative URL]. When we
move the wiki to another server it will work as soon as I make a single
change in the xwiki/skins/Albatross/template/xwikivars.vm file.

I am new at XWiki, so if anyone has a better solution I'd be very glad
to hear it.

someone tell me where these tools are? And do they still work in XWiki
Enterprise version 1.9?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Re: [xwiki-users] Hello to the XWiki community

Hi Silvia, 

My first wish is a clear division between macros that work under syntax 1.0 and 
2.0. Many descriptions in the code zone are already that way, but the 
description of the attach macro at 
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/AttachMacro only provides the 1.0 
syntax, and there doesn't seem to be a 2.0 version. Someone please correct me 
if I'm wrong. At least for me it didn't work under syntax 2.0. It would be 
great to cross-link examples between syntaxes for quick comparison.

Regards,

Steven Calkins

Betreff: [xwiki-users] Hello to the XWiki community

Hi,

I am Silvia Rusu (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/SilviaRusu)
and I have joined the XWiki Iasi team this week as a tester and documentation 
writer.

As a tester my role will be to uncover any issues and inconsistencies that 
might affect the products you love developing/using.
I will also be talking to our project managers, product manager and mailing 
list users in order to find out more about our customers expectations and 
needs. Taking this into consideration I will come up with suggestions on how to 
improve user experience.

As a documentation writer I will make sure users who aren't familiar with XWiki 
discover what the products do in order to take advantage of their features. In 
the process I will be making sure all user-facing features are well documented 
on XWIki.org, writing user guides, creating videos explaining how to use 
features, etc.

I am happy to be joining XWiki and hope this will develop into a very 
successful collaboration.

You can find me online on Twitter at http://twitter.com/silviarusu. 
Should you have any suggestions regarding testing and documentation please feel 
free to contact me by email at silvia.r...@xwiki.com.

Thanks,
Silvia

Re: [xwiki-users] Bug with olul etc

[Steven Calkins]

Hi Guillaume, 

I am using XE 1.9 in XWiki 1.0 syntax. I'll try switching this page to XWiki 
2.0 syntax and insert the code as you suggest. 

Thanks

 Dear All,

 Code like the following is totally removed in the XWIKI WYSIWYG editor 
 when the information is saved:

 olliItem 1 characteristics:
  ul
liItem 1, bullet 1/li
liItem 1, bullet 2/li
liItem 1, bullet 3/li
  /ul
 /li
 liItem 2 characteristics:
  ul
liItem 2, bullet 1/li
liItem 2, bullet 2/li
  /ul
 /li
 liItem 3 characteristics:
  ul
liItem 3, bullet 1/li
  /ul
 /li
 /ol

 It important to never save such HTML snippets in the WYSIWYG editor. 
 And anyone who follows you and edits the file unknowingly in WYSIWYG 
 mode will remove the elements as well. It would be nice if the 
 developers tweak the editors to convert such code in the background to 
 a corresponding wiki format.

 Greetings,
 Steven Calkins


Which version of XWiki Enterprise are you using?

If you're using XE 1.9 / pages in XWiki 2.0 syntax you can enclose such code in 
a HTML macro:

{{html}} HTML code goes here {{/html}}

This will protect your code when saving the page and make sure it gets 
displayed.

Guillaume
