[04:27] <ds305> Is there an offline editor for editing/creating wiki pages?
[04:27] <nhasian> hey you beat me to the question
[04:27] <ds305> Ok, it's nhasian's question.  I just typed faster...
[04:28] <nhandler_> ds305: There is editmoin
[04:28] <nhasian> i created a brand new How-To that i want to add to help.ubuntu.com but i really dont want to have to do all the wiki editing by hand
[04:28] <ds305> ty nhandler. looking to see if it's in the repos.
[04:29] <ds305> Yes, in synaptic. Thanks.
[04:29] <nhandler_> You're welcome ds305. Just make sure your environment variables are correctly set so that it uses the correct editor
[04:29] <ds305> I'm dl'ing it now.
[04:29] <nhasian> me too
[04:31] <ds305> I'm reading the man page but I'll have to spend some time tomorrow figuring it out.
[04:32] <nhandler_> ds305: It can be a little confusing at first when you are getting it configured. After that, it is really easy to use.
[04:33] <ds305> nhandler_: can you view the page or only see the code?
[04:33] <duanedesign> nhandler_: have you,, or anyone you know, ever succesfully made a DocBook file from a wiki page?
[04:33] <duanedesign> more specifically from the ubuntu wiki
[04:34] <nhandler> duanedesign: There are tools that can go from moinmoin -> docbook, but afaik, none of them work too well. There is a discussion on the mailing list about this
[04:34] <nhandler> ds305: You can only edit the source
[04:35] <ds305> Ok, I'll play with it tomorrow.  I've got a lot of the formatting down - except for tables.
[04:36] <nixternal> editmoin
[04:36] <nhandler> That is what I just suggested nixternal ;)
[04:36] <nixternal> offline editor for moinmoin
[04:36] <nixternal> your name is to close to nhasian's so I didn't see it
[04:37]  * nixternal goes back to work
[04:42] <nhasian> i think it will just be faster to edit the wiki page online than trying to figure out how to get editmoin to use my openID to edit the page :-/
[04:46] <nhandler> nhasian: It doesn't use OpenID. You enter your session id one time in a configuration file. After that, it is very easy to edit the pages. It also works for any moinmoin wiki, so that means it will work on both wiki.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com
[04:46] <nhasian> nhandler, cool thanks
[05:14] <nhasian> alright check it out guys: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NX_Web_Companion
[05:19] <nhasian> I'm not sure i put it in the right area though...
[06:19] <orange-wedge> Prerequisits
[06:19] <orange-wedge> ?
[06:21] <Madpilot> orange-wedge, ?
[06:22] <nixternal> green-wedge! what's up Madpilot
[06:23] <Madpilot> not much. thinking I should actually get up to speed on things docteam sometime...
[06:23] <Madpilot> bashing away at flight training is leaving me with much spare time. Might as well do something useful with it.
[06:23] <orange-wedge> maybe i'm just a picky speller
[06:23] <nixternal> sounds fun
[08:05] <rufong> ne1 'live? hehe
[19:42] <mdke> nhandler: where does one get the session id for use with editmoin? I couldn't figure it out from the man page
[22:35] <nhandler> mdke: In Firefox, right click and go to 'Page Info'. Then go to the 'Security' tab and click on 'View Cookies'. You can then search for 'wiki.ubuntu.com' or 'help.ubuntu.com' (they have different Session IDs). You want to click on the cookie that has a name of 'MOIN_SESSION'
