Documentation, Internationalization

Custom markup: Important information for recipe authors and local customizations: the Markup_e() function is deprecated and may not work as of PHP 7.2. New recipes should not use this function, but should pass a custom "function name" as a 4th argument to the Markup() call. Existing recipes and customizations should be migrated to the other format. See Custom markup.

Update to the page PmWiki.UTF-8 about rtl and ltr classes. Update PmWiki.Internationalizations with how to select a language based on the language of the visitor browser.

Update to the page PmWiki.Functions about the function Qualify, and added entry for $QualifyPatterns.

Update to the German translation. Added PmWikiEl.XLPageCookbook (Greek language interface for some recipes).

    Note to all recipe authors:
    PmWiki functions PCCF() and PPRE() are also deprecated, besides Markup_e(), as they will not work with PHP 7.2. PPRE() was a simple way to migrate calls to preg_replace with /e parameter. PPRE() calls PCCF(), which in turn calls PHP's create_function, which is deprecated and no longer working as from PHP 7.2. Instead PPRE() one could use PHP's preg_replace_callback(), but passing on more than the $matches argument can be tricky. We can try to document this elsewhere.
