Wanted Wikka formatters


I create this page to list proposals about FormatterInfo formatters that might be implemented in future Wikka releases.
Feel free to add your ideas/comments.

Table formatters

A good wikka syntax for tabular data is IMO one of the top priorities for future Wikka development. Some WikkaTables ideas have already been suggested.

More <div> formatters

I find quite limiting that Wikka only includes formatters for flush-left and flush-right divs. I would like to see a larger set of formatters, that - in association with CSS selectors - might be used to output absolute-positioned divs, bordered divs, divs with different degrees of padding/margin etc.

System formatters

It might be interesting - in the spirit of the {{lastedit}} and {{version}} action - to have a set of formatters for printing specific system-related information (GmBowen has also recently suggested something in this lines). I am not sure, though, whether this function should be implemented as a set formatters or as an action.
In the same spitit, I just created a HighlighterAction {{highlighter}} action that creates a nice overview of available syntax highlighters. More system-related actions are in the pipeline (such as one that will display documentation for all available actions, provided the actions have a standardized documentation block at the start: self-documenting code!). --JavaWoman

It would be nice to have in page linking so you can jump directly to a section of a page in the format PageName#Section you could then reuse the Wacko {{ancher}} action to inset the code.
Dave, I cut and paste here a related discussion that was going on on ValidPageNames -- DarTar


I think that the current forced link formatter should be improved to allow GET parameters, anchors and titles to be parsed as part of valid internal links.

For example it would be nice if we could not only use forced links like:
[[HomePage Internal forced link]]
or
[[http://www.google.com External forced link]]
but also the following:

[[HomePage (? "par1=ba,par2=bo") Internal forced link]]
[[HomePage (# "this") Internal forced link]]
[[HomePage (§ "This is a link to the HomePage") Internal forced link]]

But I don't have a clue on how to modify the current formatter to send to the Link() function all this stuff.

I like this idea very much, especially being able to add a title. A few remarks, no particular order:
