Download the Wiki module HERE

Musings

Here are some things that make me think, and some ill-informed musings.

I have a passing interest in art and philosophy and at the moment where I've got to is "Art is the mathematics of emotion"

Maths is an abstract way of representing a concept. By understanding the mathematical abstractions it is possible to exchange ideas about the world around us. There are many forms of mathematics, it covers a broad range of concepts. Similarly art is a way of conveying a feeling, emotion or range of feelings and emotions to another person.

Trips in 2010

07/07/10SellGillHoles - Bit of a walk to a dry Sell Gill. After lots of faffing with rigging we made it all the way to the end
16/06/10PillarHoles - Long walk to an interesting shaft (3 shafts in fact) rigging a bit dubious but worthwhile non-the-less
16/06/10IllusionPot - A cracking trip, first time out for a few weeks due to a knackered shoulder and well worth it.

Using Drupal as a Wiki

I decided to move my presonal site over to Drupal. The old site was partly manually created HTML and partly PMWiki. I liked PMWiki because it was fairly simple and worked well. One of the add-ons I used was syntax highlighting for code that I post. Having looked around at a few CMS's I decided Drupal was probably a good fit for my requirements, well coded, well supported and with more modules that I could shake a stick at.

So how to do a wiki with syntax highlighting in Drupal?

Read an XML document

below is the basic Java DOM approach to reading an xml document (file) into memory 

DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder;
Document doc;
try {
	docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
	doc = docBuilder.parse (new File("FileName"));
}
catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (SAXException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}
