WikiPad Questions

[AlanJ]

I am new to WikiPad and rely enjoying it. However I had a few
questions. I search the help but did not get very far.

I am using WikiPad 2.0beta1

1. I have a few cases where the name of something creates a WikiWord
when I don't want it to do that. How do keep from making a WikiWord?


2. When I pasts block of text from other applications to WikiPad I
have found the line seem to double space. Then I have to go back and
take out the extra lines. Is there a trick or a fix for this?

4. If I have to reorder a Wiki hierarchy/treem Moving some items new
level or different parts of a tree it seems to get a little tricky.
Any tips or suggestions to make that easier and better

3. I installed the Wikipad spell check for the new 2.0 series, but I
can't figure out how to get it to actually spell check. Waht is i
miss?

4. What is the "separator" for? I see it on the toolbar but it did
not do anything when I clicked on it and could not find it in the
help.

5. Anyone else have any good hints, tricks or suggestions to make
WikiPad easier, more fun, or do something cool?


I am enjoying the WikiPad any guess on when the next beta be out?


thanks for all the great work on WikiPad

Hi alan
In WikiPad  the  camelcase  will be recognized an wiki word, that
means when you type 'HelloWiki' in the editor, it will be added
underline like this: 'HelloWiki', if you don't like that, you can
add '\' to that word (e.g.:'\HelloWiki' ).

If you just don't like these words appear in the tree view,
you can do as following:
options -> tree -> Hide Undefined WikiWords In Tree

zhou,

Thanks for the response,

does anyone know how to get the spell check working? Is it a bug in
the 2.0 spell checker vs 2.0 WikidPad?

I don't get the "Spell Check" item in the Edit menu. The help says:
" If the menu entry isn't there, the installation of the add-on
package went wrong."

So I have tried installing on 2 machines and installing twice and
nothing?

Am I missing something?

thanks for the help

alan

Please open the installation directory of WikidPad and check if the
following files are present:

iconv.dll
intl.dll
libenchant.dll
libglib-2.0-0.dll
libgmodule-2.0-0.dll

in subdirectory "lib\enchant":

libenchant_ispell.dll
libenchant_myspell.dll

Any new thoughts on this?

I just installed wikidPad 2.0beta02 then reinstalled the spell checker
and it still did not work. No Spell check in the edit menu etc.

On Windows Vista (fully patched), I have UAC off.


Any thoughts?

thanks

I think I found the problem and will fix it in the next version.

As a workaround you can add the WikidPad installation directory to the
OS environment variable PATH and restart WikidPad.

Wow, I got a menu for Spell Check. thanks

For others reading this you may have to restart the computer to get
this to take effect.

Now for a new spell check question of understanding.

I noticed the help file had spell check working but I could not not
figure out where the setting was for
[global.language: en_US]
I only saw it defined in the help on the spell check section. Yet it
worked.

On my Wiki the under "Views" -> "Func. pages" section had a leaf
called "Global spell list". Global spell list had
[global.language: en_US]
yet when i did spell check it said "No dictionary found for this
page".

I added [global.language: en_US] to my "WikiSettings" leaf and the
right dictionary worked.

So I was confused. Does the global spell list not cover this setting?


I found the "WikiSetting" in several spots as it looked to be mirrored
in some way. What is the real root / location for "WikiSettings" and
why could I not find it in the Help Wiki?


Even though I have it working any guess on when the next release will
be that has the mentioned fix?


sorry if the questions sound elementary, am trying to get a better
understanding.


thanks for all the help and hard work.

Functional pages are interpreted in a different way than wiki pages and
can't hold attributes.

"WikiSettings" is the recommended place for "global" attributes.

The spell list only contains words (one per line) which should be seen
as correct but are not in the main dictionary/-ies of the spell checker.
At the moment this list applies to all languages.

If you press "Add globally" in the spell check dialog, the current word
goes to this list.

It is a normal wiki page (and therefore located at the usual place of
wiki pages), but it is automatically generated for new wikis so each has
one. For the help wiki it was deleted.

Normally at the end of the month, sometimes it may become the begin of
the next one.
