[pmwiki-users] New features to be enabled in the PmWiki core

[Simon]

Petko

I think this is fantastic, and reduces the load on webmasters having to
update recipes.

I'm a strong supporter of enhancing the Core,
see Core Candidates <https://pmwiki.org/wiki/Category/CoreCandidate>.

thank you

Simon

PS of those recipes you list I'd very much like to see DDMU, Attachtable
(the entire kahuna), LocalTimes, PageListMultiTargets

Additionally I use, and would like to see considered for the core

   - Cookbook:Wiki footer <https://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/WikiFooter> Website
   page footer
   - Cookbook:Toggle <https://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Toggle> Adds links
   or buttons for toggling (hiding/showing) div sections and objects
   - Cookbook:Rowspan in simple tables
   <https://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/RowspanInSimpleTables> Markup to add a
   rowspan attribute on a simple table
   <https://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Tables> cell
   - Cookbook:New page box plus
   <https://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/NewPageBoxPlus> Adds customisable box
   plus button form for page creation
   - Cookbook:DeltaBytesRecentChanges
   <https://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/DeltaBytesRecentChanges> Display the
   number of bytes (characters) added or deleted to a page in RecentChanges.
   - Cookbook:Attach links <https://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/AttachLinks>
   Get Attach: <https://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Uploads> links to display by
   default without the "Attach:" prefix
