[xwiki-dev] Two small modifications for XWIKI

[Steve Turner]

I too am a newbie to XWiki. I am now using this code which works well. I 
am however not conversant with Velocity but would suggest the following 
option, essentially folding subdirectories. In this mechanism you only 
see structure down to the current document. If you go up a level 
documents below are folded away. I dont  know if this is possible with 
Velocity?

I agree with your comments about "Create" new page and new Space.
Ditto syntax highlighting

I use Eclipse which has a nice contextual Velocity editor
