Additional Formatting Rules
WikkaWiki is extensible by design, and like many Free Software projects, some of its users have created extra functionality for it. The wiki's authors maintain a page of user-contributed code; take a look and see if there's anything you'd really like to see added to this wiki, and let SteveHuff know.
1. Calendars
You can insert a calendar by putting the code
{{calendar}}
into your page. Each day in the calendar will lead to a wiki page, which you'll be able to edit as you please.
By default, the title of the calendar will be the same as your WikiName; to change this, add code like
{{calendar calendarname="CalendarTitle"}}
The calendar title must be a WikiWord.
If you don't want your calendar to keep up with the current month, you can insert the parameters "month" and "year" into the code in the same manner as "calendarname" (though they don't have to be WikiWords).
The code for this calendar comes from Wikka:DennysCalendarExperiments; look there for more discussion and details.
2. User Groups
You can define groups of users by creating a page for the user group (for example, UserGroupHousehold, which lists the members of HouseChai). Place WikiNames on this page, each surrounded by "+" signs. (Also, please file this page in Category User Groups so that we don't lose track of it.)
Once you've done this, you can refer to the user group page in ACLs, just as if it were an individual WikiName. For example, most of the pages in this wiki are writable only by members of UserGroupHousehold.
The code for user groups comes from Wikka:ACLsWithUserGroups; look there for more discussion and details.
3. Harvester-proof Email Addresses
If you'd like to list an email address on a publically visible wiki page but don't want it to be snarfed up by email-harvesting spambots, use code like
{{email user domain}}
to insert the address Unknown action ""email"". It'll look normal to human eyes, but it has been obfuscated in a way that should thwart some scripts.
This code comes from Wikka:EmailActionInfo; look there for more discussion and details. (That page talks about replacing the default contact action; I've just put the code in under a different name.)
4. Anchors within a Wiki page
Unknown action ""anchor""This code comes from Wikka:AnchorAction; look there for more discussion and details.
