Flow of activities:
start from existing Wiki Page
follow page-create link next to unlinked Wiki Word, which returns standard Text Area for entry; type anything and Submit/Save.
in Free Mind select File/[OpenUrl] menu, copy/paste URI of new Wiki Page
alt1: nope: Free Mind gets raw Smart Ascii from Wiki Engine
how does it know the URI for that function?
perhaps: first time at a space it reads the rendered page, figures which formButton/link leads to Edit, saves that as a config setting?
converts the Smart Ascii to its internal data format
oh crap now how do we handle all the non-standardized Smart Ascii formats?
could grab the rendered HTML, but eventually it needs to submit a changed page in Smart Ascii
alt2: Wiki Engine lets a page be stored in Free Mind format, has separate rendering function to provide Folding Wiki Page
is this format simple enough to do some pure-Text Area Wiki Editing work?
ugh, it's much uglier than I remember - maybe that changed in the latest update?:
<node CREATED="1137606885558" ID="Freemind_Link_1086797696" MODIFIED="1137606893136" TEXT="pay $10k for analysis/proposal/plan">
alt3: Wiki Engine renders Smart Ascii to Free Mind XML format.
looking at example above, what would happen if some of that Meta Data per node were dumped? Would Free Mind still accept the data? And what if the ID were very different, like say to use Purple Numbers?
note that the ID get used for hierarchy-breaking "Graphical Links":
<node CREATED="1137612576907" ID="Freemind_Link_1894233881" MODIFIED="1137612612804" TEXT="HIPAA">
<arrowlink DESTINATION="Freemind_Link_548862207" ENDARROW="Default" ENDINCLINATION="587;0;" ID="Freemind_Arrow_Link_1567871693" STARTARROW="None" STARTINCLINATION="587;0;"/>
</node>
