Description: As you suggested I would like to remove the additionally introduced markup for Cookbook/HorizontalVerticalMenu and use normal list markup. To achieve the same functionality I would have to redefine the "*" markup. But I think it is not a good idea to change the markup in general. I just want to change the result of the markups between the surrounding directives, in this case (:vmenu:) or (:hmenu:) and (:menuend:). So after (:menuend:) the "*" directive should give the same result as before (as if it was never changed).

I tried myself to find out a way to do that, but my knowlegde is to small for that I think. (Especially regarding internals of PmWiki)

If you don't want to modify the markup, you can process another markup before the given markup, in your case by defining the order being '<^*'.

To activate your markup, another markup can define a flag on/off. For example, see in the script stdmarkup.php the (no)linkwikiwords markup.

As an exemple, this is what I have done in the Cookbook/NumberedHeaders recipe, where I execute a preliminary command before the '^!' markup

Though, note the '^*' markup is a 'block' markup which have special behaviour.

Thanks for hints


I could have thought myself of that... Nevertheless, thanks Klonk
