[Using Sakai] Wiki Tool: Removing entries from the index, indenting text

[Stephen Marquard]

It's not exactly dangling, as there are a number of new recent committers for rwiki.

I'd suggest people find the existing JIRAs and add their comments about relative importance, and/or add new JIRAs.

Cheers

As Matthew indicated in his response, the wiki has been left dangling since
the advent of Sakai 3.

I think it would be good if the community continued to develop the tool -
one of the simplest ways to do this is to add classes to the CSS for things
like indentation and other common requests.

To kick start this I just created a jira:
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-16687 - saying that the wiki CSS
should be changed so wiki pages look like the rest of Sakai. Perhaps this
CSS could be used as a starting point and simple additions could be made as
we go along.

| -- The issue with page deletion leaving indexes has been an existing
| issue for a number of years. The primary contributer for wiki went on
| to work on Sakai 3 so many of these old requests are left unfulfilled.
| So there is currently no easy way to do it. I'm sure if you REALLY
| needed to get rid of something, someone could remove the run a some
| queries to get it out of the database. :/
| 
| http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-5496
| 
| -- As far as indenting I've never found an easy way and have some
| interesting work arounds. This would probably be a nice thing to add
| though.
| 
| Workaround 1: Almost all browsers support unicode and if you insert
| unicode spaces it will accept it and indent, it removes a regular old
| space though. On OSX you can type unicode moderately easily by going
| to System Preferences->International->Input Menu and selecting
| "Unicode Hex Input" near the bottom. Also select show Input Menu on
| Menu bar. This can be useful because you can insert other unicode into
| the wiki.
| (Character for the unicode space the wiki accepts and indents)
| http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0020/index.htm
| 
| Workaround 2: You can have your administrator add a new style to the
| portal.css or the wiki css (or your site's custom css if you have one)
| that has some styles to specify the level of indent you want then you
| can use the {block:class} {block} or {span:class} {span} to indent
| your block of text based on this style. I don't know if theres any
| good styles that already exist that do what you might want.
| 
| For instance some of the existing comment body styles:
| {block:rwikicommentbody_1}Some test text{block} (However this style
| makes the text 85%)
| 
| -------
| Possibly a good future macro (if someone would write it) might be
| {indent:5}Indented text{indent} Which would indent a block of text by
| this many spaces.
