[pmwiki-users] Summary line in PITS and Cookbook

[Pico]

The Cookbook and PITS groups both generate a "Summary: " line at the top 
of each new page.

In the PITS group, the "Summary:"appears as the very first line of 
markup on every page.

In the Cookbook group, however, the "Summary:"
(1) appears as the second line of markup: the first line is used for the 
style: >>recipeinfo<<
(2) does not appear on many older pages
(3) appears on other lines on a few transitional pages

It would be nice to get the Summary line to appear as the first line of 
markup on Cookbook pages.  Having the Summary appear on the same line, 
when it is used, provides consistency that makes it easier to use the 
Summary information, when it is available.
For example, try running a search from PmWiki/Search to see how the 
results look for pages in the PITS group when the summary line is 
displayed (using a template that uses an include 1..1).  (The same 
results could be automatically generated by a template that tests for 
the group and uses an include if the group is PITS).

To locate the Summary on the first line of markup, we could shift the 
first line (>>recipeinfo<<) up to the header, and eliminate that line 
from the template.   The problem, of course, would be existing pages, 
where the style would either be applied twice at the top, (see 
TestGroup/TestGroup) or to the whole page (TestGroup/TestGroup3).  Take 
a look and see what you think: would these be unthinkable results, even 
for a transition period?  To return those pages to their original look, 
we would have to edit each one, to either eliminate the first line 
(>>recipeinfo<<)  or paste in a >><< (or the first lines of the Cookbook 
template).  Could that process be made easier by some kind of keystroke 
macro or batch process?

Are there other ways we could accomplish the same goal: making the 
summary line more consistent, when it is used.  Is the goal not 
worthwhile, or at least not worth the effort required?
