They've stopped work on the wiki.js 1.x series completely. ugh.
Reading the milestones for it, I’ll give them the chance.
It's worth following. But looking at their focus being on huge breaking changes that don't matter but not getting what they have working yet (no tables, can't save changes) doesn't bode well for how they approach the project. Like you said, just one guy. If he starts flailing around doing the "next cool thing" instead of getting it solid, that's a problem. He had a pretty solid thing already, had he just put a tiny bit more effort into it, it would be way ahead of where it is.
You can do tables. You just have to manually make them. It’s just the button doesn’t do anything.
What's the format? I tried that and it failed.
The normal markdown format, I’ll have to look. I think it’s something like:
| | |

| | |That doesn’t format at all correctly. I’ll look when I get home

| Tables | Are | Cool | | ------------- |:-------------:| -----:| | col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 | | col 2 is | centered | $12 | | zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |Tables Are Cool col 3 is right-aligned $1600 col 2 is centered $12 zebra stripes are neat $1 Wow what a pain... that's why I went away from MediaWiki to WordPress.
I’d still rather have to do this on the off occasion that I need to make a table. It’s a million percent easier to manage the application itself and it’s portable. I’m much faster writing markdown than I am with a WYSIWYG editor.
We have a lot of tables on our Wiki that are updated periodically, as well as a lot of images that are mostly built with screenshots.
The ability to manage tables... cells, rows, columns, the formatting, etc from a menu without having to write a ton of code is a huge time saver.
The ability to take a screenshot and paste it into a wiki page from your clipboard is a huge time saver.
Even general formatting is quicker if you don't have to type it out in a similar way to HTML is a time saver. Write a few paragraphs or whatever, then highlight what you want to format and click a button.
-
I suppose it depends on what you are working on, but in my case markdown just didn't work well.
-
And if you need to expand, the options are there. I don't know what all you can do with wiki.js besides just straight wiki stuff, but that could be a potential limitation.
Add that there isn't much development... who knows about security.

Same format as here. I posted a helper here months ago

Oh that's something different I haven't seen. I thought you were talking about a Markdown guide.

That's the one I tried, not sure why it didn't work. I must have done something wrong.
I haven't updated in a while so it could be broken on a newer version.

See now why would you use something you have to worry about breaking all the time, like after updating. That doesn't seem logical.

I’m not worried about anything breaking? All I said was maybe something broke since Scott said it didn’t work. I just haven’t updated it because it’s a VM in my house that I don’t hardly use and was only for testing.

And as I thought, updated (from my phone) and no change. Tables still work.
-
Another year and more progress.... 2.0.0-beta.42 just released on Monday.

@scottalanmiller I thought everyone moved to bookstack?

A lot have, and BookStack is very nice. But my team was torn and decided, at least for now, to stay on wiki.js.

Using a git repo is an awesome feature with Wiki.js

Yes, we love that for sure.

What is the prognosis for Wiki.js? Is it still only one dev?

Definitely very few, if not just one. But only so much development needed, I suppose. It's moving forward very slowly, but work on the 2 branch is moving forward.
