Subject: Re: Instiki markup

I'm trying to figure out Instiki. It's a nice piece of work.

But what would be the best way to have return a javascript file, ideally
shared between webs? Also being able to return other files from that
subdirectory may be required.

eg:

/htmlarea/htmlarea.js

or is this better?
/my_wiki/htmlarea/htmlarea.js

Cheers,
Dave
