[Edit]Bug Report

Strange that in example 2 the empty line does not start a new paragraph (in the table).

I'll make a note on the Bug Reports page - thanks for catching this. -- Ryan 30-Aug-2008 00:21 PDT

[Edit]Categories

Archived from the Feedback page:

Hi Ryan, what is it about Categories (you know the tags at the bottom of the page). I thought having more than one category on one page. Is this possible, should it be? Or is it the wrong way because you should create two different pages (topics) with each own category? -- Michael Habbert 31-May-2007 11:00 PDT

Yeah, multiple categories for a single topic should work - see FAQ, which has three categories. That behavior is consistent with how Mediawiki implements categories (see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories) What problems are you seeing? -- Ryan 31-May-2007 18:03 PDT
Hi, no problems at all - I just was confused ab how to do it and if it make sense at all. ;-) Thanks. -- Michael Habbert 05-Jun-2007 02:31 PDT

[Edit]Using/Accessing (External) Taglibs

Archived from the Feedback page:

If I would install say the display tag library with my Jetty container/web server, could I use those additional tags from within JAMWiki?--Sil68 08-Apr-2008 00:30 PDT

I may not be understanding the question correctly, but if you're trying to customize JSPs with your own code simply add the required taglib import to page-init.jsp and to web.xml. If you want to use JSP syntax within a wiki topic then that's not supported. Let me know if I'm not understanding correctly. -- Ryan 08-Apr-2008 07:53 PDT
As soon as I've written this, I recognized how absurd this question was! :( Regarding your question & understanding, my intention was to incorporate (arbitrary) JSP tags in any Wiki page, so it would be rather easy to access say a DB via SQL without having to add this functionality to JAMWiki.--Sil68 08-Apr-2008 10:36 PDT
There is about two years of Subversion history in the JAMWiki project proving that I do amazingly absurd things on a disturbingly frequent basis :) -- Ryan 08-Apr-2008 19:52 PDT

[Edit]Link with spaces

Archived from the Feedback page:

Hi,

How do I create an external link whose text has spaces in between.

E.g. I want to add a link

http://catodms/svn/doc_repo/CustomerOps/Clients/NetBrazil/trunk/SOW# 2 Phase 1 Implementation/Architecture/ARD

However, due to spaces in between the text, the link does not get displayed as desired on the page. Instead, what I see is

2 Phase 1 Implementation/Architecture/ARD

Please help me solve the problem, so that the entire link will be displayed.

Spaces are not valid in URLs - search for "spaces in URLs" on Google for more details. Some browsers will automatically convert spaces to either "+" signs or "%20", and making that change in your URL above should solve the problem. -- Ryan 20-Aug-2008 07:39 PDT
