I am using the CharInsert extension on a local wiki installation. However I find the information in Extension:CharInsert#Notes confusing, not very helpful.
I actually found important information for customization at other places.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Edittools#Customization_instructions
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:CharInsert#Customization
Following explanations:
- Use to add new lines (\n).
- I had to use
\\n
with double backslashes
- I had to use
- Enclose white spaces in nowiki tags when needed.
<nowiki>
tag might actually work (not sure here), however using just the dot sign.
is much more convenient
- And probably the most confusing issue was: depending on the wiki configuration it might take quite a while till the changes in
Gadget-charinsert-core.js
are actually used, in my case the toolbar used an older version from the cache for certain time.
