I'm cramming in a few minor enhancements before the Pebble 1.9 release, one of which relates to using the RadeoxDecorator. To recap, you can wrap wiki-style content within <wiki>...</wiki> and have the decorator render that content as if you were writing a wiki page. This is all courtesy of the marvelous Radeox library. Anyway, the feature that's been missing is the ability to link together content using wiki links, but this has now been added.

To illustrate, this content...

<wiki>
Here is a link to my [books] and here is a link to my [articles].
</wiki>

...renders as this, assuming that the books page exists and the articles page doesn't.

The books link takes you straight to the static page, while the articles link lets you add a new page as you'd expect from a wiki. Of course, you are prompted to login if you are not already. Just to add a disclaimer, the included implementation will only allow you to link to static pages, although there's nothing stopping anybody building a more complex decorator that can link between blog entries too.

In summary, some of the simplicity of wikis just got applied to Pebble static pages. :-)
