Emacs Wiki Old

My experiences of using emacs-wiki mode¹

Aha, I have finally done it!

That is, I have managed to successfully open a file in emacs-wiki mode. This took quite some doing. In the end I managed it with C-u M-x emacs-wiki-find-file. WIthout the C-u it would fall over because emacs-wiki-directories got overwritten to nil along the way. Why is this? Solved (22 Oct 2004): From discussion on mailing list (Michael Olson), it turns out that I should have just used the normal find-file instead of emacs-wiki-find-file (unless I am already i na wiki file). The documentation is wrong in this respect.

Other irksome things:

1. I cannot seem to be able to use an apostrophe - it gives me the error message:

   	Unknown keysym specifier: #<keypress-event t>
   

   where t is the character I press after the apostrophe. Double quotes do not seem to work either. Update 22 Oct 2004: it works if I use C-q ' instead.

Can I use it now, or can't I? Yes! It works!

1. Tab does not work for indenting lines. Instead it seems to be bound to emacs-wiki-next-reference
2. Trying to do C-c C-p to publish the thing does not work either - I get the error messages: (Deleted) because solved again from the mailing list archives.
