WikiDB

This will be a very very simple database for wiki pages. It has these goals:

Easy to add "records" to the database via a form interface.
Easy to edit forms, either with the form interface, or by hand in the wiki page.
Templatable header, footer and body.
Sortable records.
Paginated output.

The WikiDB is not related to the new SQLite class (which is a database for storing the whole pages and their history).

The WikiDB can be used for:

Any kind of tables of data.
An online wiki guestbook.
Some other structured wiki content (repeated data and formatting).

Proposed markup (for an example guestbook):

(:wikidb template=#HERE perpage=20 columns="bHidden iDate Author Message Reply" order=-iDate if="bHidden=0" editlink="[edit]":)
# 0 # 20080201 # data 3 # new%0Aline here # end
# 1 # 20080205 # [[Cookbook|links too]] # '''bold''' # end
(:wikidbend:)
[[#HERE]]
Here will be the header (if needed)
[[#HEREeach]]
Each record of the database will be looped through this section.
>>class=authorstamp<<
{(ftime {#iDate})} - {#Author} {#_editlink}
>>class=message<<
{#Message}
>>class=reply<<
{#Reply}
>><<
[[#HEREfoot]]
Here some footer (if needed)
[[#HEREform]]
And the add/edit form
[[#HERE]]

(:wikidb template=#HERE perpage=20 columns="bHidden iDate Author Message Reply" order=-iDate if="bHidden=0" editlink="[edit]":)

0 # 20080201 # data 3 # new%0Aline here # end
1 # 20080205 # links too # bold # end

(:wikidbend:) Here will be the header (if needed) Each record of the database will be looped through this section.

Here some footer (if needed) And the add/edit form
