Using Drupal as a wiki

[draft; outdated!] 

Issues and approaches

[To be added. The Using Drupal book has an entire chapter on this.]

Resources and links

  • Drupal group (active since 2006) dedicated to developing wiki-like features in Drupal
    • Discussion thread from this group about Mediawiki syntax v. WYSIWYG editors
      • One user comments that FCKeditor uses <b> instead of <strong>. You might be able to create a custom style in FCKeditor for the <strong> tag.
        • My guess about how to do that: add this code to the fckconfig.js file: 
          FCKConfig.CustomStyles = 
          {
          'strong' : {Element : 'strong' }
          };
