1 When you edited [[ikiwikiusers]] all the utf-8 on the page was removed. Is this an issue with the web browser you used? I've fixed the utf-8 damage. --[[Joey]]
3 > Ooops! Sorry - yes, my fault - I was using w3m, which spawned nano to edit the text, and I'm not setup for utf-8. I'll be more careful in future. --[[KarlMW]]
7 While I have your attention... I got my asciidoc plugin going, at least
8 well enough to render my website without complaint. If you want to have a
9 look at it, the plugin is at <http://mowson.org/karl/colophon>. Is it
10 worthy of adding to the ikiwiki plugin collection? This is my first ever
11 perl programming, so I may well have made absurd mistakes - if there are
12 things that need changing then I will probably need help/guidance.

21 >> Escaping is indeed a problem with asciidoc - it seems to me that asciidoc still processes some things which have supposedly been escaped, although that may just be a matter of me misunderstanding something. Inline escaping is done with both prefix and suffix of "+++" - no way to nest it. Block escaping starts and ends with a line of "++++" (4 or more of "+").
23 >> I suspect that asciidoc can't really be made to play nice to the extent that I would want casual users/abusers to have it as a markup option on a live wiki - it's fine for a personal site where you can look at the output before putting it online, but I think it would be a hideously gaping integrity hole for anything more than that. However, for a personal site (as I am using it), it does seem to have its uses.
25 >> I'll keep an eye on the format_escape plugin, and assuming it is accepted into ikiwiki, will see if I can apply it to asciidoc. --[[KarlMW]]
