Adrexia started following the problem "Custom HTML - Where has it gone?" in PBwiki.
Andrew's reply to "Is the Classic Editor supported in PBwiki 2.0?" was just promoted to the most useful! Adrexia and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.
I've used your site on and off over a few years for note-taking for my Open University courses here in the UK. So I was interested to take a look at your new V2 Beta. Initial impressions:
* Looks nice
* Mmmmmmmmmm, like that side bar
* Nice editor
So how do I switch into Wiki markup for edits? Oh, I can't :-(
As far as I can tell, you have created an editor for HTML - I can even switch into HTML mode and type HTML direct.
So - what's my problem?
Well - one of the points of a Wiki is to provide a quick and simple mark-up language. If I wanted to write HTML, I would write HTML. I could just use your editor, but:
* how do I do this on the train when I have no connection?
* how do I draft out the outline of a series of pages when I can't type in the links for pages to be created later?
* where is the CamelCase that allowed me to link pages in the fastest way I have ever seen?
* how, if my site is public, do I stop people putting malicious code on my pages, if I need them to be editable?
You could have produced a nice editor - but why not an editor for Wiki Markup, rather than HTML?
I think this is one step forward, but two large steps back.
