[pmwiki-users] using arrays in input markup

[Petko Yotov]

Sorry, elements named like "color[]" are not supported and processed by 
PmWiki or PmForm, and (:input default request=1:) or (:input default 
color[] red,blue:) will not work for such elements.

For custom needs you can create forms with such elements, but you have 
to write your own functions to process them:

(:input form:)
(:input hidden action your-custom-handler:)
...
(:input end:)
