- Description
- With PmWiki 2.1.12, the wiki adds support for nested div markup. If used, this breaks Wikipublisher. At the moment, div markup is turned into <group> tags. The DTD supports nested groups, but the xsl to translate the xml into LATEX doesn’t. Currently, groups of recognised classes are mapped into LATEX mini-pages and these can nest if needed.

- Proposed solution
- Since nested div markup is generally used to support arbitrary presentation features, often using CSS classes, and Wikipublisher doesn’t handle most style information, there is not a lot we can do. One option is to add a “level” attribute and wrap different levels in different styled rules using nested minipages. This is arbitrary but perhaps reasonable. Another option is to do nothing — just output the group’s contents.
- In the short term, we need to disable PmWiki’s nested div feature.

- Resolution
- By interpreting nestd div markup as groups of different levels, we can transform these into nested LATEX minipages (boxes within boxes). This is a temporary, prevent it from breaking, solution. If demand for this feature grows, we will look at other solutions.
