- beforehand is therefore recommended!
-
- 1. *User interface*
- 1. When choosing a wiki word to go to (by using the
- "view parents", "view parentless nodes", etc. menu
- functions) you can in the dialog choose one or more wiki
- pages to *delete*, so e.g. all parentless nodes can be
- deleted at once.
- 2. *HTML-Preview*. At the top of the editor window there are
- two tabs "Edit" and "Preview". If you click the "Preview"
- tab you see the rendered HTML-View of the current editor
- content. In the options you can choose the font face to
- use in the preview.
- 3. *Completely new wiki-wide search dialog*. It replaces the
- "view saved-searches" function and its dialog. You can now
- edit the wiki while the dialog is open yet
- (=non-modal dialog). For details see [SearchingTheWiki].
-
- 2. *New options to handle tree*
- 1. *"Tree auto-follow"*: The tree tries to always select the
- wiki word currently shown in the editor or HTML-view.
- 2. *"Tree update after save"*: After each (automatic or manual)
- save the tree icons and shown children are updated. This
- may need some time and may create some flicker going from
- top to bottom through the tree.
-
- 3. Other
- 1. *Faster startup* by caching initially created regular
- expressions in a file named "regexpr.cache" in the
- application directory. (Deleting it is always safe and
- recommended after changing WikiSyntax)
- 2. Option to handle numeric only words (=*footnotes*) as
- wiki words or regular text. This option applies to the
- current wiki only
- 3. In export dialog: option to use *compatible filenames* which
- contain ASCII-only characters, so sets of HTML files are
- more compatible to other filesystems.
-
- 4. Fixed bug
- 1. *WikiWord and [WikiWord]* were different words
-
-
- Oct. 13, 2005 (1.20beta1)
-
- 1. *Unicode support*. This means:
- 1. Characters from any language in the text (if font and
- operating system support them).
- 2. Arbitrary alphanumeric characters (as defined by Unicode
- consortium) for non-camelCase wiki words (if operating and
- file system supports it), except numeric only words, like
- e.g. [42].
- 3. Support for all characters in incremental search.
-
- 2. Changes in *wiki syntax*:
- 1. Before and after the tags to escape formatting (<< and >>)
- only whitespaces are allowed on the same line. See
- TextFormatting.
- 2. Escaping spaces when executing a search as part of a link.
- Example: This link
- WikiDocumentAttributes#creating# a# new# wiki .
- A # is escaped as ##.
- 3. Arbitrary alphanumeric characters (see 1.2.)
-
- 3. The *editor*:
- 1. Drag and drop of text.
- 2. Faster syntax highlighting. For pages bigger than 10 KBytes,
- it is done in the background, so you might notice a delay
- before the highlighting is updated.
- 3. New menu item "Replace Text by WikiWord". Select some text you
- want to move to a new wiki page, choose the item and enter the
- name of the new page. On the old page, the text will be
- replaced by a link to the new one.
- 4. Possibility to change the date format for "Insert Date"
- 5. New menu item "Wikize selected word" to convert selected words
- to a valid wiki word.
- 6. Menu and toolbar plugin to add a list of the children and
- parents of a wiki word to a page.
- 7. Menu plugin to create new wiki words with auto-generated
- names. (Name looks like [New124536] with a unique number).
- 8. Right handling of numbered lists with multiple levels of
- numbering (like this one). See also BulletedLists. Written by
- Gerhard Reitmayr.
-
- 4. The *user interface*:
- 1. Submenu to choose colors similar to icons.
- 2. In the dialogs "Open word" and "Search wiki" you can use
- cursor up/down to move between text field and the list below
- the field.
- 3. "Set as root" menu item to choose an arbitrary wiki word as
- root of the tree on the left.
- 4. Add menu and toolbar items as Python plugins (no documentation
- yet, but example in extensions/referrals.py). Written by
- Gerhard Reitmayr.
- 5. Arbitrary nested todo and property entries in the View tree.
- See WikiDocumentAttributes and TodoItems.
-
- 5. *Options* dialog in the "Wiki" menu:
- 1. "Minimize to Tray".
- 2. "Hide undefined wiki words in tree". Undefined children words
- of a word are not shown in the tree if this is checked.
- 3. "Start browser after export". If this is checked, after
- exporting HTML or XML, the standard web browser is started to
- show the result.
- 4. "New window on wiki URL". If checked, activating a "wiki:" URL
- opens a new WikidPad window (only if 'Handle URLs with
- "wiki:" by WikidPad' was checked when WikidPad was
- installed). If not checked, the same window is reused to open
- the selected wiki.
- 5. "Low resource usage". Uses less GDI and user resources on
- Windows 95/98/ME, especially if minimized. Changing this
- setting takes effect only after restarting WikidPad.
-
- 6. *Internals*:
- 1. Plugin manager by Gerhard Reitmayr.
- 2. Slower but more reliable HTML/XML export.

- http://weblogs.asp.net/oldnewthing/archive/2004/10/20/245072.aspx
- 2. Added a 4th heading size (++++).
