[Pmwiki-users] Page preview mode

[Stephan Schildberg]

I am interested in XUL. Actually our oss project (FreeCard.org) changed 
to use XUL, it means we are learning it. It is interesting see people 
gaining more interest in the Mozilla framework. You refer to the 
WikiPedia menu bar, for Firefox?

>not-too-complex program to start with I had is a special edit form for PmWiki 
>that has two tabs: edit and preview. The edit tab is similar in content and 
>features to the current edit system. When the preview tab is selected, it 
>sends the current form contents to the wiki, requesting a preview, which is

>what you've done.
