Atm the wiki is a bit pointless because all it does is link back to ahk forums... and the ahk forums is a mess of random coding that has no organisation, maybe we should start building on the wiki and getting some organisation going

would like to see something similar to

<!-- m -->http://www.autohotke...pic.php?t=47791<!-- m -->

but with comments and more examples

I think the Wiki is a great resource and contains some very valuable information.

Hugov's recent work on the FAQ in particular is fantastic.
It is links back to the forum but in a formatted way which is much easier than searching for the answer every time.
I'd like to see more attention paid to the wiki as it is easy to forget that it's there (I'm guilty of this in the initial excitement of seeing a question I can answer)
Wiki integration into the forum was mentioned as a possible outcome of the forum upgrade but I'm not familiar enough with phpBB v3 to know what form this would take.

I would be up for fixing parts of the wiki but my main problem at the moment is finding the time to do a proper job of it alongside my other projects and jobs. I did start a GUI tutorial but other things got in the way. It is on my ToDo list though.

Thanks for bringing this up. It's great to see how the wiki has grown, but I bet that we could get much much more out of it.

he has indeed done a good job (:

[x79animal]

ideally i would like the command references (and the following pages ) to get fixed, however it would be a long task to do.
i am going to attempt to make a The-docs(html) to wiki conversion script so that i could run each page through it, allthough im not sure yet if it would work out

edit: changed my mind actually it would be pointless

Atm the wiki is a bit pointless because all it does is link back to ahk forums...

The index of a book just links back to the book, and is very useful.

the problem with wiki's is the difficulty in formatting. No one wants to put there name on something that looks like POO

But remember static and client side dynamic content of any format can be created with your favorite html editor and uploaded to autohotkey.net

gamax92, that looks quite a bit better. Only about 850 to go.
Also, syntax highlighting would look nice. I don't know much about wikis, how hard would that be to implement?

[Frankie]

Syntax highlighting?

It's the colors the source code is in. It could be basic like on the forum where it highlights comments only, or more complicated where it highlights numbers, functions, strings, etc. each in their own color.
Examples:

No syntax highlighting:

[color=darkblue];This is a comment
Func("This is text.", 50 * 2)
return

Func(String, Int)
{
	Msgbox, %String% - %Int%
	return
}[/color]

Basic highlighting:

;This is a comment
Func("This is text.", 50 * 2)
return

Func(String, Int)
{
	Msgbox, %String% - %Int%
	return
}

More advanced:

;This is a comment
[color=violet]Func[/color]([color=red]"This is text."[/color], [color=cyan]50[/color] * [color=cyan]2[/color])
[color=violet]return[/color]

[color=violet]Func[/color](String, Int)
{
	[color=violet]Msgbox[/color], [color=indigo]%String%[/color] - [color=indigo]%Int%[/color]
	[color=violet]return[/color]
}

ok so i just edited controlsend , but man the wiki is so limited. I think it would be a better idea just to improve the <!-- m -->http://www.autohotke...cs/commands.htm<!-- m --> organization and everything. Because its so much easier to find things quickly

Edit:

So i changed control send using a converter of html to wiki
<!-- m -->http://www.uni-bonn.... ... s.php#wiki<!-- m -->
and it looks great except the command list makes it way down the bottom of the page. and now i cant edit it. Check it out:
