[Mediawiki-l] Linebreaks in the edit toolbar?

[Daniel Barrett]

In our wiki, we have many toolbar buttons on the edit page, so we want to split them into multiple lines at designated spots. My hacked solution is below -- is there a better way?

To implement this, I hacked function mwInsertEditButton in skins/common/wikibits.js, so an imageFile value of "<br>" causes a real <br> to be inserted into the toolbar.  I added this code as the first lines of mwInsertEditButton :

        if (item.imageFile == '<br>') {
                parent.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
                return true;
        }

Is there a better way to accomplish this task without modifying core code?

Thanks,
