Provides a nice user interface for editing/creating Gantt charts on the wiki. It complements JSWikiGantt extension which displays the chart from XML, so you need both. It generates and edits XML code for tasks that JSWikiGantt uses to display the chart.

Usage

To create a new Gantt chart, simply write the following in the edit area of the page:

<jsgantt> </jsgantt> <!-- Options can also be added in the first tag to show different attributes: check JSWikiGantt >

A link should now pop up on the top right side of the page. Click the link to create and edit tasks!

Updates & Notes

2017/10/27 - Most recent update: If the program can't locate the library for adding business days, it will calculate calendar days instead.

Warning:

Always make sure XML code doesn't contain "&, <, >, ', or ". If the web page when you are trying to save, most likely cause is un-escaped XML characters " ' " should be "&apos"; " " " should be "&quot"; " < " should be "&lt"; " > " should be "&gt"; " & " should be "&amp"; without the quotes
