Default TWiki Plugin

This plugin supports some deprecated rendering of older TWiki versions and of JosWiki. Create a new TWikiPlugin based on Empty Plugin if you plan to offer some other functionality.

The plugin is disabled by default. You should enable it on sites where there is very old data using legacy syntax.

Syntax Rules

Custom rendering rules of the default plugin:

• Allow old include syntax ( %INCLUDE:"TopicName"% ) if Plugin Preferences variable OLDINCLUDE is set to 1
• Render deprecated *_text_* as bold italic text. Test if installed: _This is bold italic_
• Enable JosWiki rules if JosWiki-specific code is uncommented * Rewrite certain attachment URLs according to legacy usage

Modify file TWiki/Plugins/DefaultPlugin.pm to add your own rules or to enable JosWiki rules.

Plugin Settings

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting write %<plugin>_<setting>%, i.e. %DEFAULTPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%

• One line description, is shown in the Text Formatting Rules topic:
  • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = This plugin can be used to specify some simple custom rendering rules. It also renders deprecated *_text_* as bold italic text.

• Allow deprecated %INCLUDE:"TopicName"% syntax:
  • Set OLDINCLUDE = 1

• Debug plugin: (See output in data/debug.txt)
  • Set DEBUG = 0

Plugin Installation Instructions

• This plugin is preinstalled, you do not need to install it.
