text of topic
Raw Text
link can be clicked to show the text of a topic (i.e., as seen when editing). This is done by adding raw=on
to URL. raw=debug
shows the meta data as well as the topic data, ex: debug view for this topic
view
, preview
and edit
scripts.
Note: Rendering meta data is currently not supported in topic text. As a workaround, use FormattedSearch on the current topic only to render form fields.
Current support covers:
Variable usage: | Comment: |
---|---|
%META{"attachments"}% | Show attachments, except for hidden ones. Options: all="on" : Show all attachments, including hidden ones. |
%META{"form"}% | Show form data, see TWikiForms. |
%META{"formfield"}% | Show form field value. Parameter: name="field_name" . Example:%META{ "formfield" name="TopicClassification" }% |
%META{"moved"}% | Details of any topic moves. |
%META{"parent"}% | Show topic parent. Options: dontrecurse="on" : By default recurses up tree, at some cost. nowebhome="on" : Suppress WebHome. prefix="..." : Prefix for parents, only if there are parents, default "" . suffix="..." : Suffix, only appears if there are parents, default "" . separator="..." : Separator between parents, default is " > " . |
Meta.pm
code that supports the format needs only minor alteration.
