Hi

The new TABS plugin adds smarty tabs to pages, which is really great, the problem is that it does not seem to process wiki syntax, is this meant to be like this?
You can check here: http://tikiwiki.org/InfoTikiWikiOrgDev&bl=n
(I use this page to play around with VERSIONS and TABS plugin to try out how the plugins work together with these two, feel free to modify and add any syntax)

Some more notes:
- I think the "no tabs" button should be optional of the plugin. It can make sense in some cases (like if trackers would work with freely definable tabs) but it looks a bit weird on pages where you just put text content and some pictures to have this button on the right side.

- It is quite useful to be able to have images as the tab header (this works well for VERSIONS plugin), but the current way of defining the tab header in TABS plugin (there is a single cell for this) is not convenient to manage this, the content of the cell will be too long and hard to overview. One solution could be to add dynamically the tabs, to have a cell for each header. Another is to have it the way it worked for VERSIONS -  the name is defined in the version separator syntax

- In the body the separator of tabs is /////. If you have 10 tabs it will be hard to see which one you are editing currently. I think the separator should contain the name of the tab like at VERSIONS plugin

Thanks &cheers,
gezza

well i am not sure about necessity for this... 10 tabs is pretty crazy
and it will hardly fit in resolution of 1024px wide monitor
