Description :
Despite the notion of a universal canvas, rich authoring of content through
Web browsers is still rather poor and laborious to do. There have been
attempts to create WYSIWYG(What You See Is What You Get) editor widgets to
rectify this, however none of these tools are reliable cross-platform and
cross-browser not and often lack the flexiblity of its read-only
counterparts. This is unfortunate and nothing one person will be able to
fix any time soon leaving us to cope with brain dead \'< textarea>\' and plain
text.
TikiText is an attempt to work with what we have and minimize (not
completely solve) these shortcomings.
I was faced with the task of architecting a way for non-developer
non-markup saavy business user to publish information. Plain text (with no
formatting) was not going to cut it. Nor was teaching them XHTML markup. I
did an intensive study of different structured text formatting notations
that have been developed in the past. These notations included a few
different Wiki implements such as UseMod Wiki, MoinMoin Wiki,
Text::WikiFormat, in addition to Zope\'s Structured Text, HTML::FromText and
Textile. For one reason or another these notations fell short of my
requirements. So in scratching my own itch I developed a notation I call
_TikiText_ based on my observations and key learnings.
The name Tiki came from the combination of Text formatting and wIKI and was
chosen to reflect Hawaiian heritige. (For those not familiar with this
mythical god of retro poleynesia it\'s said /_tee-kee_/ and not /_tick-E_/)
I defined the design goals for TikiText are as follows:
* * Leverage existing text formatting notions.
* * Least amount of characters from plain text.
* * Use more intuitive and common plain text email conventions.
* * Abstract users from needing to know or understand markup whenever
possible.
* * Make valid and semantical XHTML markup easy. (And let CSS do its job!)
* * Easy to learn the basics. Richer functionality for those who want to
dive in.
While Wikis are a part of TikiText\'s lineage, it was never my intention to
create a new Wiki notation or tool. Based on the feedback I received from
the initial releases, I\'ve added more Wiki features to this module. (See
the Wiki Functions manpage for more.)
This code is quite usable and has been improved over the months, but it
should still be used with the understanding that it is still somewhat
experimental and is just being tested and properly documented. Feedback,
bug fixes, and feature implementations are appreciated. Furthermore, I
realized this format is less then perfect and falls short of its design
goals. My hope is that it will be refined an tweaked over time to optimize
its effectiveness.
