[Pmwiki-users] section edits

[Fred Chittenden]

This sounds like some sort of "blogging" variant, which would be very nice. 

As a general comment, I'm not sure if the heading delimiter would be
powerful enough for possible future expansion and/or uses as one might want
to add some other commands to sections. There might be instances where you
want to have a header without starting a section.  Perhaps something like
the following ("!*") might be more a powerful sectional delimiter and while
still being somewhat wiki intiative.  

!* Section 1<optional commands>

This is a Section 1 of a wiki page 

!* End of Section 1 (or start of Section 2) <more optional commands>
  
This is the last section of this wiki page.  
Normally, editing or posting would start here at the end of the last
section?  
 
-------------

The 'stuff' on section delimiter lines would get interpreted, but not
displayed. 

To make a blog, it would seem one might offer a section "blog command" to
start up some sort of blog/posting window for blog posts, with blog posts
being attached to that wiki page section (front or back) with a date stamp. 

Or something like that.
