Ciao Laurent

Just a footnote on the getSetting  procedure ... unless you specifically need to manipulate a main setting like "filePathRoot" you should not need to invoke it in child-wiki as it should be automatically active when you reference files.

FWIW, I do use getSetting  for "filePathRoot" in child-wiki. But its only for informational purposes.

Where getSetting gets useful is, I think, when you define your own unique settings in the "RootWiki" that you want to use elsewhere.

That is my current understanding. Jed will correct me if I am wrong.

Best wishes
