Hi, I just switched from MediaWiki and installed XWiki 1.1m3, and
I found section editing and collaborative editing one page in
xwiki is not so well supported compared with MediaWiki. And I
have several questions:
(1) Instead of using h2 tag to automatically add a section
editing icon, could I manually tag a paragraph as a section and
edit it?
This feature isn't implemented. Is that something Mediawiki does?
(2) Even if I divide the whole page into several
sections with h2
tag, when different users edit different sections in one page,
xwiki still indicates someone locks the page, is it possible to
get smaller lock granularity and lock just the section rather
than the whole page?
This is a bug. Would you mind creating a JIRA issue for it? (in
the XWiki Platform project -
http://jira.xwiki.org)
I think wiki is a collaborative tool, and editing
one page in the
same time is a very important functionality and should be well
supported.Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks.
Agreed.
FWIW we're working on some research project that would allow to
modify simultaneously the same page and still resolve all
conflicts automatically... ;) But that's not for now. We need some
more time...
So for now we need to improve what we have. (2) is definitely a
bug. (1) is harder to do and we would more information as to how
this would work from a user point of view (like how do you tag a
paragraph for example).
Actually, it's not that hard to implement 1, as long as we know
what is the syntax for tagging that.
