[R-wiki] Can't understand how to insert wiki pages and make (oldstyle) alltips work

[Ben Bolker]

  I'm not sure I understand all your questions, but I'll give it
a try.

  First of all, "0savegraphs" *does* show up, in the expandable
index generated in tips:tips, and in the "full contents" section
at the bottom of graphics-base.

  It doesn't show up in the top half of tips:graphics-base, because
that list is not automatically generated -- it's hand-coded.
You can edit the page to add your title to the list.

  Ideally/eventually the Wiki code will be extended so that
the "Full content" and other lists include the title of the
page (e.g. "How to save graphs in a file"), instead of or
in addition to the name of the page ("0savegraphs").

   I don't see a left-side/index bar list at the level of
these sub-pages, don't know how they work.

   For your other question: it looks like the old list you're
getting is because you have a rev= command in your URL?  Perhaps try


rawimport <-
readLines("http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:tips&do=export_raw")

(just guessing)?

   cheers
     Ben
