Enhancing Your DokuWiki Forms with Custom JavaScript - Replacing Newlines with Markdown-Friendly Syntax
Author(s): Louis Ouellet
DokuWiki is a fantastic tool for creating and managing content collaboratively. However, working with custom markdown can sometimes be a hurdle, especially for users who aren’t familiar with its nuances. For instance, when dealing with form inputs, DokuWiki users often encounter issues with preserving newlines (\n) during form submission. To simplify this, I’ve developed a JavaScript solution that automatically converts \n to \, ensuring that forms work seamlessly with DokuWiki’s markdown syntax.
This script not only streamlines the user experience by handling markdown transformations but also makes it easier to display form inputs correctly. It’s particularly useful when forms are used in namespaces requiring strict markdown compliance. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to set up and use this script in your DokuWiki instance.
