Hello,
I'm trying out wixi ant attempting to use it as a wiki incubator and
there are some features i think are missing:
* color in text, changing fonts. It would be nice to be able to
define styles, like the CSS
* linking inside a page with anchors. txt2tags seems to have this
feature with:
[internalLink] to define an anchor, and

Re: [wixi] Richtext editor for Wixi?

Rich text would be a nice *addition*, but one of the primary reasons I
use Wixi in the first place is because of it's ability to export to so
many useful formats.

Richtext editor for Wixi?

Hi All,
I think most of you know that Wixi is using the txt2tags format. I
really like the txt2tags document generator, it's powerfull and
elegant. But when building it into a desktop wiki application, you
always end up with:
1. a text editor (for editing your page).
2. a html viewer (generated from you page in html format).

The security issue is only a consequence.

The bottom line is "let the database API do its job (the escaping),
because it'll do it better than you".

An example of a problem with wixi due to string substitution in SQL
queries: try to create a wiki page that contains double quotes in the
name. It's not possible. If you'll run wixi from console, you'll see

Hi Charles,
Thank you for your bug report. Excellent research!

After saving a page _new_ page, it needs to have a valid id number in order
to store it in the categorylist. That's where it goes wrong.

We need to have this right after line 214 in SQLiteCon.py

data.update({'id':self.GetPage Id(data.get('page'))})

Doing string substitution in SQL queries is generally a very bad
practice.
Even the documentation for sqlite3 module emphasizes it.

I.ve found that sometimes when a page is saved, the categorylist in the
database gets corrupted.
Try clicking Calendar button then select a category in the tree and
'append to text' to set the calendar page's category, then exit wixi.
restart and try to delete the page and you get:

TypeError: unsubscriptable object

Did you enabled text-wrapping in the configuration menu?
That's important if you want the whole paragraph to be offset.
The paragraph should consist of one rule.

Kees, can you provide an example, how to use it?
I just wanted to have a paragraph, offset a bit...

Hi Shino,
You are getting in the txt2tags zone now....In a paragraph, a tab
doesn't do very much. It is more used for quoting.

From the txt2tags site:
A quoted paragraph is prefixed by a TAB.
More TABs, more deep.
No TAB or blank line, closes quote.

Wixi is shipping a full unmodified txt2tags version. For example, in

Hello Kees!

Seems that <tab> does not offsets as it should..

Raw examples:

Hi Shin,
Thank you for hunting down that nasty bug. I will try to fix it when i
have some time. I also created a roadmap on the website so that you
can see what you might expect in future versions. Renaming categories
and all the pages within it is something i definitely want to do
first. After that i think the Internationalization is next.

Another feat. req. that got cut from discussion, so it does not get
overseen or lost.

What I mean is...
This is what we have in 1.10 (look at mouse cursor):

[Wixi]Feature Request: Reduce auto-colapses of category tree.

l...@mail.ru (Shinobiteno) — Sat, 10 okt 2009 20:13:19 UT

This one is new...

Wixi currently colapses category tree with every click on save button.
I think this is very annoying when you do rearrage or work with
several pages.

A method of reducing auto-collapse would be:
- remember what categories are rolled and unrolled.
--- Do modifications, incl page and category renaming and all else ---

I have separated this request from my post so it wont get overseen or
lost..

A small thing would be nice:
Check if link name and description name of link match.
If they match, rename description name of link as well.

There are two cases:
- links to other pages with same description as page name. Example:
