TestDescription

This is the home page of the group TestDescription

A test group to test the use of {$Description} and (:description ...:)

The purpose of this group is to test using descriptions as a method to improve the structure of wiki pages. That might sound ambitious, but what it comes down to is being able to use (:pagelist:) to generate a list of pages, where the description of each page is shown next to the page.

In addition, it would be nice to have some place on the web page where the description of a page is automatically shown if it exists. This area could for instance be between the logotype and the search form at the top, i.e. directly about the page's group name and page name.

We can use this pagelist template to for testing:

[[#nudescription]]
*[[{=$FullName}|+]]
(:if ! equal {=$Description} '':)
->'-''description:'' {=$Description}-'
(:if:)
[[#nudescriptionend]]

ComplicatedDescription0

description: Dous double backslashes work? No, seems to look weird at the top of the page. What about triple backslash? Not so nice either.

ComplicatedDescription1

description: This is a long description without the line continuation characters; what happens if I don't use them? And how do I find the information about further work on this markup?
