LastEdit

Background and rationale

MoinMoin themes (e.g. modernized) insert the date of the last edit and the name of the editor, usually discretely in a small font. However, there will be situation where a more prominent presentation of the data is helpful. There is no in-built macro for this purpose.

Description

LastEdit is a macro to insert the page's last edit and name of the editor. Without an argument the macro inserts the date only.

Included an argument triggers the inclusion of the editor's name and provides the associated text. This text either appears before the editor's name, or can include %s or %(editor)s to have the editor's name inserted into a position within the text (see example below).

The editor's name is included as link to their home page or email address as determined by their user preferences.

The text provided in the argument can include wiki markup.

Usage

<<LastEdit(by)>>

Argument "by" is optional.

<<LastEdit>> or <<LastEdit()>> - inserts date only.

<<LastEdit(by)>> - inserts date and editor as determined by the "by" string.

"by": by="..." text is inserted as "date ... editor". 
    : by="...%s..." text is inserted as "date ...editor...".
    : by="...$(editor)..." text is inserted as "date ...editor...".

Where "..." is any text, including wiki markup.

In the first of these three cases, spaces surrounding "..." are included automatically. No spaces are included in the other two cases.
