[Wikiwyg-dev] alternative wiki format

["Eric S. Johansson" <esj@harvee.org>]

http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh?action=manual

I'm working on an enhanced version aether[1] (called akasha) with the 
goal of making small to medium web apps simpler to build and still not 
use php.  so far, theory is meeting practice and it is working well.  I 
am hoping that wikiwyg can support this alternative form of markup 
without too much work.

is what I hope for possible or not in this lifetime?

thanks.

[1] very simple example to give you an idea.  why this format?  I'm 
somewhat disabled (rsi), use speech recognition and this is the least 
handicapped hostile form of web development I've seen yet.

form markup:

[form [action get_paper]
Thanks for requesting a paper from us.  First we need a little 
information and we will send it to you by email

Name:   [text
      [name who]
      [size 30]
   ]

Phone:   [text
      [name phone]
      [size 30]
   ]

Email:   [text
      [name email]
      [size 30]
   ]

   [button
      [name logit]
      [value Thanks]
      [type submit]
   ]

]

[reveal who]
[reveal phone]
[reveal email]

embedded handler:

class action(ak_cgi):

    def __init__(self, name, reveal):

        ak_cgi.__init__(self, name, reveal)
        syslog.syslog('found action:...%s'%str(reveal))

    def handle_logit(self, name, query):

        self.reveal['who'] = "from: %s"% query['who']
        self.reveal['phone'] = "ring: %s"% query['phone']
        self.reveal['email'] = "spam: %s"% query['email']

        return \ 
self.page_maker.make_http_page(self.page_maker.fileserver.load('igs/get_paper'), 
'200')
