Wikka Beta Features

This server runs on WikkaWiki version n/a (see WikkaReleaseNotes) with a number of experimental features.

Category action [modified]
a modified category action that by default now only shows the content of category pages (starting with 'Category') and does not show templates except as members of a special templates category (extra parameters allow overriding these defaults but in general this should not be necessary). This results in more "sensible" behavior when the category action is placed on (or included in) a non-category page: the SandBox won't be regarded as a category any more :). Also for output in columns divs are used now instead of a layout table; this also means that the pages are layed out vertically instead of row-by-row, making it easier to scan the output.
Example: See CategoryDevelopment for the new layout and note that the templates for development pages are no longer listed there (even though they contain a reference to CategoryDevelopment).

System
a new action showing information about the system Wikka is running on.
Example on the SysInfo page.

Backlinks
A simple backlink handler to display internal links to the current page (usage: /backlinks).
See BacklinksHandler.

Grab code handler
A handler to download code snippets from code blocks inserted in Wikka pages.
See GrabCodeHandler.

Register action
An action for user registration distinct from the current (usersettings).
Development page: RegisterAction
Test: RegisterActionTest.
