MT Text Formatting

January 6, 2003 02:40 AM


Frustrated by the confusing Wiki tools available, I was on the verge of coding a global filter `enable_simple_wiki' for MovableType. Thanks to Ben, half of my trouble has been saved. In the next version of MT, he is introducing a text formatting filter which will enable powerful text formatting right on the entry page itself. This will supersede global filtering options presently available(e.g. quotes formatting or stripping HTML tags) via plugins. The author can select filtering options at the time of entry itself. While, in case of wiki, this won't atleast keep the average Joe author away from the Text::WikiFormat perl module, a wrapper around the module would most likely be needed. So probably, I can defer the plugin coding till the next version of MT is out.
