I haven't yet tested it with PmWiki 2. I was never entirely happy that
the approach used was the best one. It just felt too complex and
unintuitive for what ought to be a simple operation. But I haven't
yet come up with a better solution.
Perhaps using the subpage markup may be a more productive approach.
See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SubpageMarkup
If I have a page that wants to be a draft, maybe I call it
[[SomePage*draft]].
One would want a couple of capabilities:
- make a draft from the current page's contents
- make a draft's contents into an official page
- have a reference to [[SomePage]] produce links to both
SomePage and its draft
All of which is fairly easy, if the overall approach is suitable.
So I think it would be better to build on a [[*draft]] markup
(meaning a draft version of the CurrentPage), but am open to ideas.
