There's a problem with doing this, the embedded PHP doesn't get any of
the Dokuwiki environment. I've actually done something fairly similar
though by writing an action plugin which uses the ACTION_ACT_PREPROCESS
and TPL_ACT_UNKNOWN to create a new action called 'tagsort'.
All that's needed then is a link like [[start?do=tagsort|link]] which
does the 'tagsort' action and I can execute the code I want in the
action plugin.
I'm just surprised that no one has wanted to do anything like this with
Dokuwiki. I'd have preferred to have a button to click to execute the code
and stay on the same page but my quick action plugin solution is OK for the
moment.
