Emacs MediaWiki mode

2009-01-06 19:38:32.935948+01 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Mark apparently has it working on my site, I don't, but if I can get it working this looks to be 100% awesome: Mark has written a MediaWiki mode for Emacs, announced on his blog here. Once you get it configured, from within Emacs you should be able to:

Open a wiki file:M-x mediawiki-open
Save a wiki buffer:C-x C-s
Save a wiki buffer with a different name:C-x C-w

I'm still tweaking my Emacs ignorance, but... hopefully soon!

Dan, I think the issues you were running into are fixed now. I even fired up emacs22 with "-q -no-site-files" (emacs version of safe mode) to verify it. Please fetch a new copy and test it. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/mediawiki.el

Just a note that it's working here, and it's very cool! And now that Mark's fixed a bug, installation is as described.
