Hello DokuWiki Team The page at http://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:common_plugin_functions sais "render() -- uses the parser to parse and output a string containing wiki markup." But this is not true for syntax plugins, because there the render function has a completely different meaning. Could it be that the object hirarchy changed in some recent dokuwiki version? inc/plugin.php DokuWiki_Plugin would contain the render() method described above, but lib/plugins/syntax.php class DokuWiki_Syntax_Plugin extends Doku_Parser_Mode { ... } is again derived from parser/parser.php class Doku_Parser_Mode. I am willing to refactor the documentation. I just wanted to ask if my assumtion is correct before I rip appart the common_plugin_functions wiki-page. Yours, Robert
