[pmwiki-users] RecentChangesFmt issues

[Pico]

A few issues with using $RecentChangesFmt in config.php to alter the 
layout of recent changes pages. 

The following documentation examples at PmWiki/LayoutVariables seem to 
be wrong (for all versions of PmWiki) and may require some revision to 
take account of the relative link behavior under the beta versions of 
PmWiki:

The format can be specified in your config.php using the following:
$RecentChangesFmt['$SiteGroup.AllRecentChanges'] =
  '* [[$Group.$Name]] . . . $CurrentTime $[by] $AuthorLink: 
[=$ChangeSummary=]=][=';
$RecentChangesFmt['$Group.RecentChanges'] =
  '* [[$Group/$Name]] . . . $CurrentTime $[by] $AuthorLink: 
[=$ChangeSummary=]=][=';

1. Each entry ends with =]=][='; which seems wrong and causes very 
screwed up results.  Removing the extra reversed pair of escapes (=][=) 
took care of the screwy results for new changes to other pages (but 
subsequent changes to a page that has an entry that was formatted with 
the reversed escapes may become appended to the end of the screwed up 
entry).  I changed the documentation by removing the reversed pair of 
escapes from the end of each line.  Anyone disagree (was I missing 
something here)?

2. Does the second example (for 
$RecentChangesFmt['$Group.RecentChanges']) need to be revised to work 
properly with the relative link behavior under the PmWiki 2.2.0-beta 
series?  Right now, with my beta install, changes are tracked at 
Site.AllRecentChanges, but the relevant Group.RecentChanges pages have 
stopped being updated.  (In fact, my beta install onto an existing site 
does not show any changes in Group.RecentChanges pages after August 28, 
2006).
