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

[Paul Johnson]

Thanks. I put in my own menu item under Base (standard) graphics here:

http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:graphics-base

Now I just need help from Phillipe on making the rawexport do what it used to.

Well, not any more.  It returns the major headings, not the titles
individual items (like it used to).
Here is what you get now:

> rawimport
 [1] "====== R Wiki - Tips ======"
 [2] "A collection of short pages with R code examples (\"snippets\")
((This section is inspired and initially filled with the excellent
material from //Paul Johnson// known as
[[http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/Rtips.html#1.1|Rtips]].))..."
 [3] ""
 [4] "<note classic>"
 [5] "For those who migrate Paul Johnson's Rtips, please, update the
[[misc:rtips-status|Rtips status]] page."
 [6] "</note>"
 [7] ""
 [8] "==== Data ===="
 [9] "++++ Input-output | {{indexmenu>tips:data-io}} ++++"
[10] "++++ Data frames | {{indexmenu>tips:data-frames}} ++++"
[11] "++++ Lists | {{indexmenu>tips:data-lists}} ++++"
[12] "++++ Matrices & arrays | {{indexmenu>tips:data-matrices}} ++++"
[13] "++++ Vectors | {{indexmenu>tips:data-vectors}} ++++"
[14] "++++ Factors | {{indexmenu>tips:data-factors}} ++++"
[15] "++++ Manipulation | {{indexmenu>tips:data-manip}} ++++"
[16] "++++ Databases | {{indexmenu>tips:data-bases}} ++++"

[and so forth]

The items are hidden behind "{indexmenu>...".

I need is some http:// style way to get the menuitems that you see
when you click. Those items are there hidden in the html, javascript
reveals them.

I think I could download the html output and postprocess it in Perl (a
more comfortable zone for me than R, actually), but I really think
that won't be necessary.

While I'm asking about http:// uses, suppose I want to create another
page that has a link that points at the right to edit an item.  In the
Wiki's current format, one must click log in and then the edit button
appears.

I need a one step way to ask to edit a particular item, at which point
the user is asked for a username & password.  Something like a
"revise" option to pass through in the CGI part of the URL.

http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:graphics-base:0savegraphs&revise=true

Possible?  I've seen that in Perl based Wiki programs, but don't know
about this Php/Javascript kind.
