From d4ca3b3f50027d0dfd052f77ddcc4290ab0e6a81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: joey Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2006 20:23:57 +0000 Subject: * Change order of linkify and preprocess; first preprocess and then linkify. This allows passing a wikilink inside a parameter to a preprocessor directive without it being expanded to html, and leaking out of the parameter, which had required some non-obvious use of triple-quoting to avoid. Note that any preprocessor plugins that output something that looks like a wikilink will now have it treated as such; AFAIK this doesn't change any behavior though except for the template plugin. * Enable preprocessor directives when previewing an edit. --- doc/plugins/template.mdwn | 15 ++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/plugins/template.mdwn') diff --git a/doc/plugins/template.mdwn b/doc/plugins/template.mdwn index 9e2ab0891..6f38e554e 100644 --- a/doc/plugins/template.mdwn +++ b/doc/plugins/template.mdwn @@ -9,15 +9,18 @@ and inserted into pages in the wiki.
