Hi Christophe,
there also exists a random quote receipe
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/RandomQuote
The last described version (at bottom of page) uses
a wiki page by default called Main.Quotes were the different quotes
are structured as lists, like this:
* quota 1
* quote 2
It seems to be easier as your way.
Greets,
scheiby

> Question : How can I display a random quote from a list stored in a PmWiki
> page, and not from a flat file that I cannot access easily ?
>
> Answer: Copy RandomQuoteWiki.php to the cookbook directory and add
> include_once("cookbook/RandomQuoteWiki.php"); to config.php.
>
> This script adds two markups (:RandomQuoteWiki_quote:) and
> (:RandomQuoteWiki_author:) that contain a random quote stored in a pmwiki
> page (instead of a flat file that cannot be accessed by most users).
>
> The quotes must be structured like
>
> <quotes>
> <quote>
> <text>quote text 1</text>
> <author> quote author 1</author>
> </quote>
> <quote>
> <text>quote text 2</text>
> <author>quote author 2</author>
> </quote>
> ...
> </quotes>
>
> To use this script, simply copy it into the cookbook/ directory and add
> the following line to config.php or a per-page/per-group customization
> file.
>
> include_once('cookbook/RandomQuoteWiki.php');
>
> Then add something like
> || '''(:RandomQuoteWiki_quote:)''' ||
> || (:RandomQuoteWiki_author:) ||
>
> in your wiki page.
