Page +preview does not currently run the format hook. + +I think that is not done because the format hook is supposed to get the +entire html file contents, including the html head and body elements, and +in the case of page preview, such a full page is not being generated, +instead it's just inlining the previewed page into the edit form. + +If the format hook were called on this partial data, hooks that looked for +body tags etc would break. OTOH, if in preview mode it were run on the +whole edit form page, ones like toc that parse the page would have +unexpected results, since they would also parse the edit form. + +(Also, if format were run in preview mode then plugins like linkmap, which +generate object files in their format hook, would need to be changed to not +do this during preview (to avoid preview mode writing files to the wiki). +So the format hook would need to be passed a flag indicating preview mode.) + +So I don't see a good way to call the format hook in preview mode. +Failing that, the best I can do is make the toggle plugin detect preview +mode, and generate nonfunctional toggles that warn they're not toggleable +in preview mode. I've [[done]] that, which also fixes the incidental issue of +the toggle link pointing to the wrong place, which was due to the use of the +<base> tag in the preview page template. --[[Joey]] |
