I read that few weeks ago. But about styles and setting handling, I am wondering if it's a good idea to use an external xml php parser/writer (like expat or domxml). I have noticed that dokuwiki philosophy is to be independent most as possible from technologies (ex: It should work as well on php4 or php5).
For the renderer no XML writer library is needed, XML tags are written directly by the writer. In fact implementing this using a XML library would be probably much harder.
Did you have any guidelines on this ? What's the best and stable choice : - Write or use parser/writer in php ? - Use php libs ?
For plugins are no strict rules. In DokuWiki's core we try to be compatible with PHP 4.3 standard installs. This might change with a broader adoption of PHP5. But til then a PHP only library (at least as fallback when native PHP extensions are not available) is a good idea.
