One down, one billion or so to go

Finished my Wiki-like Movable Type plugin. Now I can do things like [LINK TEXT|URL] and **strong** (to make things strong). It also does automatic paragraphs, like MT’s built-in functionality but without inserting <br>’s. It’s probably bit slow, has no documentation, and undoubtedly has some bugs. Also requires HTML::Parser (possibly a very recent one) and Time::HiRes. You can try and tell me about bugs and maybe I’ll try and fix them. There’s more functionality I could add in now, but it’s all complicated by the fact that I don’t have the one-paragraph-per-line model that I think Wiki tends to like. Because of this, things like making lists becomes nasty: I’d have to have a token to terminate the list, probably. Or force it all to be indented.

Going to work on the archive pages. After that, this web log should be in order.

Before I forget, my PSGML patch does have a problem figuring out which fixed attributes to add when you C-c C-a to edit attributes; namely, I think it inserts all of them. I’ll have to (hopefully) look in to this later.

I am glad you fixed this to support _the_man’s_ browser. ;)
