How Tos
lol p(note). Please pardon the dust! We are in the process of moving the old trac based wiki over to this new Junebug based wiki. Feel free to help us port content from the old How To page to the new one.
This is a cook book of “How Tos” covering solutions to common problems. Please prefix all wiki links with “How To”.
Please Note! Much of the documentation on the Radiant Wiki is still tailored for Radiant 0.5.x. Please give us a hand and help us update any articles that are out of date.

Extending Radiant

- Extension Wish-list?
- Ideas for Extension authors—I think it would be useful to list out all the possible types of extensions we might ever expect to see for Radiant, and outline how they might be implemented. And how core could be improved to make extension authoring easier.
