That's encouraging; and it does seem to give an approximation to a
structured look, though as far as I can tell your Wiki only has
sub-categories in the equipment section.


Yes that is correct, but illustrates what can be done. Looking at the
great long "Technical" category that could do with some sub-categories.

Do you know if its possible to make a sub-category list appear nested
inside the parent category list, and on the same page' as opposed to a
separate page as both yours and 'ours' do?


Not quite sure I follow what you are asking. The category list that is
displayed at the top each category page in the IBSFaq wiki and on the main
page comes from a template and is hard coded. I could hard code the
sub-categories into that list.

I don't know of an automagic way of generating the category list for
display in a page. The special page "Categories" just lists them all
without paying attention to any arbitary parent/child relationships.

(BTW Dave, it took me a while to realize your Wiki has nothing to do
with Irritable Bowel Syndrome!!)


It's not my wiki but that of the Institute of Broadcast Sound, I just help
maintain it. If you forget the .uk you end up with the International Bible
Society...
