2005-05-29 DWiki now supports definition lists (<dl>, <dt>, <dd> in HTML). I started with what I think was Wikipedia's syntax but decided it was ugly in plain text so came up with my own that I like better.
2005-05-28 DWiki now has a simple hierarchical way of handling access to pages
for various things (both access and commentability), so you can give
(or take away) permissions for things to entire directory trees at a
shot. We use a simple implementation where directories can have a
magic file called
DWiki now has an extremely low-rent generic from-the-web search functionality. It's so low-rent I'm not sure I'm going to keep it, but we'll have to see.

As part of the fallout of other work, I fixed the nit where 'View Source' would show as a page tool on pages where viewing the source would get you a permission or unavailability error.
With blog-style things now decently supported, there is the problem that some pages want to be longer than is comfortable for display in a blog setting. Now wikitext can signal that only the front should be shown in some contexts, like so:
Directories can now have default view types associated with them, by
the simple yet sleazy method of touching a file in them called
This lets us auto-set a directory to default to a blogdir view. The page tools now autogenerate a list of 'See As <whatever>' links for alternate directory formats. This required some innards magic to distinguish a normal view being explicitly specified from no view being specified and us just defaulting to a normal view.
2005-05-26 Directories can now be displayed as a 'blogdir', which treats the files in the directory as if they were blog entries: they are sorted by modification time, most recent first, and then they are all displayed inline with a title. A chunk of this behavior is controlled by templates and new renderers.
'blogdir' is a new view, only valid for directories, which uses
There are also new renderers for the new blog-like time format and for showing the owner of a file. (Currently the Unix and/or RCS owner.) This is ... how shall we say it ... not hugely scalable over the long run in terms of time structure and number of entries.

This is a log of new features of note in DWiki. This is more text, so that we will run down the side of the page and I can see if things collide madly as they probably will. I hate layout. |
