I read <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Forms">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Forms</a> but it's all a bit overwhelming. I know I need the following:</div><div><br></div><div><pre style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font face="UICTFontTextStyleBody"><span style="white-space: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> (:input form:</span></font><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); white-space: normal; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">)</span></pre><pre style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font face="UICTFontTextStyleBody"><span style="white-space: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">(:input hidden name=n value={$FullName}:)</span></font></pre><pre style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font face="UICTFontTextStyleBody"><span style="white-space: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">(:input for beginning anchor?:)</span></font></pre><pre style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font face="UICTFontTextStyleBody"><span style="white-space: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">(:input for $title?:)</span></font></pre><pre style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font face="UICTFontTextStyleBody"><span style="white-space: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">(:input for timestamp?:) (separate text boxes for date and time and AM/PM?)

</span></pre></div><div><br></div><div>Can someone help me build this form? How do I specify markup syntax? How do I specify to which page to add the post? I'm not sure if I need specific cookbook recipes. I know there is commentboxplus but I would like to learn how to build this form to help me understand how forms work. I have a feeling I'll also learn how to create a nice looking date picker :)</div><br><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Regards,</span><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Rev.
