Re: wiki mime type
It isn't wiki. Those are used in blogs, and I use Markdown for simple HTML memos. Don't use x-, either. Register a real type. wunder --On March 7, 2006 5:51:42 PM +0100 Henry Story [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 6 Mar 2006, at 18:54, James Tauber wrote: Agreed that this would be very useful and also that it needs to be done on a per wiki format basis.

Something like text/x-wiki+textile text/x-wiki+markdown perhaps? I think, however, that this is something the format creators should be encouraged to register, or at least suggest a convention for.

wiki mime type
Silly question probably, but is there a wiki mime type? I was thinking of text/wiki or text/x-wiki or something. I want people to be able to edit their blogs in wiki format in BlogEd and be able to distinguish when they do that from when they enter plain text, html or xhtml. Perhaps this is also useful for the protocol. Henry
