[pmwiki-users] Selecting a Wiki engine...

[Henrik Bechmann]

While I'm at it, scanning Dokuwiki main features, the only real 
difference I see (of existing DokuWiki features) is section editing: 
http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:section_editing

If there's no way to edit a whole page instead, I'd hate that, though it 
would be good to have as an alternative (such as for modifying comments).

I presume PmWiki could emulate that with some kind of delimiting scheme, 
or perhaps your commenting does that...

Related to that it would be nice to have the option for an edit button 
to appear next to an included page, with the "from" parameter allowing 
return to the hosting page on save... Maybe a recipe as an extension to 
(:include:)? So a person could write (:include SomeGroup.NewPage:), save 
the page, and have the little question mark appear next to the include, 
allowing immediate edit and resulting inclusion of the new material. I'm 
looking forward to seeing if the comment capability incorporates this 
kind of functionality.

But on the surface it looks to me like PmWiki has way more functionality.
