MàJ 20090924 : there is a new version

The Dotclear wiki syntax is simple and allow easy access to the most used styles in a publishing system. It has simple tags for titles, emphasis, bulleted and numbered lists and foot notes.

I already did a quick hack to allow to Use the Dotclear wiki syntax in text editors for BBedit, TextWrangler and MarsEdit.

I had the chance to find the MarkDown module for Drupal. That was a good starting point to work on a Dotclear wiki syntax module for Drupal (click to download).

Installaton of this module is easy.

First, upload the folder dotclear inside the folder /drupal/sites/all/modules/. In all the following steps, replace drupal by the name of your root folder install. If the folder modules does not exists yet (fresh install), create it.

Then, with your web browser, go to http://example.com/drupal/admin/build/modules/list. And scroll down to the section Input filters.
