Users/Mike/sandbox is, as its title suggests, a test page for code etc.

Does this cut-down editor (represented by the toolbar above) accept manual entry of “other” HTML?

  • We know OLs and ULs are allowed; so next, let’s try definition lists, using the glossary page as an example.
    • <dl>’s are forbidden! – they convert to <p>’s the instant the source window closes!
    • exception (?): Himy figured out how to embed video using the “embed media” puzzle piece. I’ll try that … NOPE.
  • BTW, the HTML is whitelisted for a ton of really good reasons (security and to keep a uniform appearance). We can always add new elements but we try to take it very slow.  --philip
  • For anyone reading this who may not know, Phil is lead dev at localwiki [oaklandwiki’s parent project] – (Holy deus ex machina, Batman!)
  • @Phil: Roger that. Thanks for saving me from wasting time testing unsupported HTML! … BTW, it’s HTML5, yes? Also, based on your tip, I found the whitelist; might help to mention somewhere in yer docs that the only allowed tags at present are p; br; a; img; em, strong; strike, u; sub, sup; pre, tt; hr; h1–h6; ul, ol, li; span; input; and table, thead, tbody, tr, th, and td. (Heck, steal the preceding bit, if you like.)
  • <dl>’s draw useful semantic links between 2 items (typically terms & definitions, though other applications are possible). Eloquent defense. That almost no sane people care about semantics; that the default (unstyled) appearance of <dl>’s is rather unsexy; and that I’d likely be the only one to use them, is immaterial: right now, ≈90% of oakwiki’s tables are non-semantic attempts to “fake” this functionality visually. I’d rather get used to doing proper markup now, to save pain later (Sec. 508 compliance, should it ever come to that, etc.).
  • On that note, an accessibility question. While I (generally) loathe tables, from an accessibility standpoint their most useful attributes are the rarely-used, semantic ones, like caption and tfoot. Shouldn’t these be supported too? OK, this concludes this evening’s whining …

 

I found some improved footnoting code! Let’s see if it works.
