Goal

Primarily, to allow the use of Emacs for editing wiki pages in a PmWiki wiki wiki web. Secondarily, to allow browsing of the source code of wiki pages from within Emacs.

Solution

The solution is a new mode for Emacs called pmwiki-mode. See EmacsModes.pmwiki-mode for more details.

Discusssion

Editing text using a form inside a browser window is inefficient compared to using e.g. Emacs. Below are some of the things pmwiki-mode for Emacs allows you to do:

Open a wiki page in a wiki wiki web directly into Emacs
Edit the syntax highlighted source of the page in Emacs
Save the modified page back to the wiki wiki web.

For further details and installation instructions, see EmacsModes.pmwiki-mode.

Download pmwiki-mode

Below are links to various versions of pmwiki-mode.

User releases

The links below point to archives with releases of pmwiki-mode that are intendend for normal users. See the change log for information about the differences between releases. As a normal user, you should always download the latest release.

Please note that the latest release is not working well with newer versions of pmwiki — use the CVS-version instead!

Note: Since I changed to using sourceforge and CVS I haven't created a new release, primarily because I'm not quite sure how to do so...

Why not use Git and either GitHub or Gitorious to enable collaboration and making it easy to release new versions? tamouse October 30, 2011, at 03:08 PM
