Help:WikiPlugin to easily create new pages, optionally with default content. Since v1.3.8

This allows you to create a page geting the new pagename from a
forms-based interface, and optionally with the initial content from
some template.

Put a "<~?plugin-form ~CreatePage ?~>" at some page, browse this page,
enter the name of the page to create, then click the button.

!! Usage
<verbatim>
     <?plugin-form CreatePage ?>
     <?plugin-form CreatePage template=CategoryHomePage ?>
     <?plugin-form CreatePage template=SomeTemplatePage vars="year=2004&name=None" ?>
</verbatim>

!! Plugin Arguments
*s*: |
  The pagename, which will passed to the plugin. Default: ""
*initial_content*:  |
  The new page will be pre-filled with this content. Default: ""
*template*:  |
  The new page will be pre-filled with the content of this page. Default: ""
*vars*: |
  variables to be expanded. Default: ""
*overwrite*: |
  Whether to overwrite an existing page. Default: ""

!! Known Problems

None

!! Variable Expansion

The content (either initial_content or template) might hold some variables, which will be
expanded on creation. Unassigned variables will stay as %%<var>%%, assigned variables without
matching %%<var>%% placeholder will be ignored, without any warning.

A variable in a template is denoted as <tt>%%var%%</tt>, which will be expanded by the
value of <tt>var</tt> given to the vars argument (in urlencoded php notation).

Some special variables are automatically assigned:

%%ctime%% |
  $WikiTheme->formatDateTime(time())
%%author%% |
  $user->getId()

This forms together with page templates and the PhpWiki:WikiFormRichPlugin and
optionally the PhpWiki:SqlResultPlugin a framework to create templated pages.
