Hello
Some time ago I sent Chong Yidong, the author of
wikipedia-mode.el some patches and he encouraged me to overtake
wikipedia-mode. His only restriction was, that I should not use
Xemacs specific code.
TESTED:
That I have done, the new version, 0.4, has been tested on
Xemacs-21.4.19 (Mule and no-Mule) and GNU Emacs 21.4. However it
is sad for me, as a long time Xemacs user, to _un-recommend_ the
use of Xemacs for the moment.
RECOMMENDATION:
The reason is that any version of Xemacs, either 21.4.x or
21.5.x, does not provide full UTF8 support. By that I mean that
Xemacs will/can *destroy* UTF8 chars. Since most of todays
wikipedia articles are using UTF8 coding, this is not acceptable.
Hopefully soon Xemacs 21.5.x will provide full UTF8 support and I
can happily recommend Xemacs again.
NEWS:
font-lock support has been rewritten and enhanced. A lot of
functions have been added which allow to insert
wikipedia-makeup language. Finally some "draft", "send", and
"reply" functionality has been introduced, which might be
useful for wikipedia discussion pages.
I specifically recommend to use wikipedia-mode.el together with
mozex, which has been recently updated, provide UTF8 support
hotkey binding and more. For details see the installation
instructions. http://mozex.mozdev.org/development.html
