Wiki Sidebar #wiki


 

I've added a sidebar to my wiki. It's markdown, the preview is ok, but it is shown on the pages as text.

Did I miss some setting?

It's been a couple months since I created my first wiki. As I recall the side bar was plan text until I used "edit" and added links to the text. The links were the URL of the main topic page.

Here was my process:
Created pages covering Various Topics (about 30 as of now)
Created Main Topic pages (8 of them) and linked each of the Various Topic pages to the appropriate Main Topic pages.?
Created a Side Bar with text describing the 8 Main Topics and then linked each of the 8 Main Topics to the appropriate Side Bar text entry.?
?

I think I figured it out.? The sidebar doesn't like Markdown.? It seems to accept the information, but isn't translating it properly, resulting in what you're seeing.? Markdown seems to work fine on regular pages though.? I'd report it to [email protected] as a bug.? For now, you can get around it by using html to create the sidebar.

One other note.? I originally created a sidebar using html, then tried to add to it after changing my preference to markdown.? Instead of the markdown toolbar, I got the html version.? I deleted the sidebar, recreated it it using markdown, and got the bad results.? It looks like whatever you use initially will become the default for it, but I'm not sure if that's really wrong.

Great! That does the trick.

Thanks, I'll report the issue.
