[Pmwiki-users] New Marathon skin and some questions

[Steffen Bauch]

I made a skin for PmWiki2, which is called Marathon skin. This version isn't the final version, I would like to hear your comments on the technical implementation (template and CSS) and on visual style. Please reply with diffs. ;)

You can find an entry at http://www.pmichaud.com/pmwiki2/pmwiki.php/Development/Skin

When I created the Marathon skin I got inspired by PmWiki skin, Gila skin and the skin of phpBB.

The template file is XHTML Strict compatible, but I don't know if Pmwiki2 creates XHTML Strict code, so the doctype is XHTML Transitional. Can I change it to XHTML Strict?

Is there a need to include <!--HeaderText--> in the header of the template? I have done so for now, but I am unsure if I should do this because it adds a lot of styles I don't need. Also this styles seems to belong to Pmwiki default skin. Is this wanted?

At the moment I am using using devel14, I tried devel16 yesterday and realized that something that was

<pre>
	a
	b
</pre>

now gets

<pre>	a</pre>
<pre>	b</pre>

This breaks my style and I think also the logical structure of the document.

My skin includes $Group.TopNav or Main.TopNav at the top of every the page, if you want to have some links there add them to TopNav in the wiki.

The skin still uses the old template naming, how should I change everything to be pmwiki2 compatible? (especially the link of the CSS)

Is it possibile to make a preview page of my skin in the development wiki? I haven't some public pmwiki2 at the moment, I just want to use PmWiki as CMS and not world-writeable and have security concern using a development version. Is there a way to exclude a $Group of AllRecentChanges and Search? I want to have a public part (readonly, just editable by me), a non-public part (read and write by authorized users) and a personal part (read and write only by me). How should I model this with pmwiki2? Is there some advanced configuration example?
