While this is true for UpdatePage() I'm not convinced it is a general
rule...<br>

This general rule was my initial question to this mailing list. As long
as one cannot be sure about the appropriate context, using handlers are
the safe way, aren't they? I, for instance, would have destroyed all my
page histories otherwise ...<br>

BTW I documented the custom action business on a different page at <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CustomMarkupAlt#customaction">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CustomMarkupAlt#customaction</a>
after Hans wrote and before you posted here. I suppose having it in 2
places is better than none...<br>

Is it possible to move <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CustomMarkupAlt#customaction">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CustomMarkupAlt#customaction</a>
to <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CustomMarkupAlt#customaction">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CustomActions</a>
? (by leaving a link, of course)<br>
Because I was looking into actions when I felt that Markup was just NOT
what I wanted.<br>
<br>
I suggest promoting Custom Markup and Custom Actions as the two main
customization features for add-on scripts. My own earlier naive
approach of scripting effectively during execution config.php (albeit
in cookbook includes) is not the way that "layman" add-on authors
should be guided too.<br>
