[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki "2.0" Syntax
by Vincent Massol 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi, Since I'm rewriting the new Rendering component (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewRenderingArchitecture) , we need to finalize the new syntax we want to have. Right now I'v planned to use the same wiki syntax as now (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ XWikiSyntax#HTextStyles) with only one change: all macros now need to be closed. For example: {macro}...{/macro} and {macro:text|param=value|.../} Is that ok with everyone or do we want to make changes? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Deprecation strategy
by Vincent Massol 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

We need a deprecation strategy, i.e. decide for how long we keep @deprecated methods/classes. I propose to keep them for 2 full releases after the current version is released as final. For example if a method is deprecated in, say Core 1.3M2 then the method will be removed in 1.6M1. Of course any major new release can deprecate anything so a XWiki 2.0 is expected to break backward compatibility. So for methods deprecated in 1.0 we can remove them in 1.3M1, M2, etc. WDYT? If ok then I'll add this to our dev practice guide too. Note that for this to be easy anyone deprecating methods should add the information of when it was deprecated. For example: /** * @param time the time in milliseconds * @return the time delta in milliseconds between the current date and the time passed * as parameter * @deprecated replaced by {@link com.xpn.xwiki.api.Util#getTimeDelta(long)} since 1.3M2 */ public int XWiki.getTimeDelta(long time) { return this.util.getTimeDelta(time); } Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] XWiki - HSQL to display Current Space
by Prathap Pandian 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

HI, How to view current space using HSQL. For Example: select prop.value from BaseObject as obj, StringProperty as prop where obj.className='Blog.Categories' and obj.name = 'Blog.Categories' and prop.id.id = obj.id and prop.id.name='name'* and prop.value = $doc.web* whether above one is correct..? -- Prathap

[xwiki-devs] Open questions for the XWiki syntax v2.0
by Vincent Massol 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Some open issues/questions: 1) I think we need a syntax for escaping a block of text. I'd propose using {{{whatever here}}} (same as creole and confluence). We could do it with a macro but I don't know how we could implement it easily... 2) Do we want double curly braces for macros or simple ones: {{macro/}} or {macro/}. If we use simple ones then it won't be easy to enter { and } chars in a text (they would need to be escaped) and since we've decided to have double chars for items ( **, --, ~~, etc) we might as well do that for macros. 3) Do we want to support images in links. For example: [[image:someimage.png]]? We already support URIs in links, such as mailto: so maybe it wouldn't be too hard to support images too I guess. Or do we want only the Image macro? A related question is do we support http images (http://.../someimage.png) inside links and as an inline element directly in the text? 4) Tables: do we keep the table macro or do we want a wiki syntax for tables. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Rendering] Wiki syntax for quotes and block quote?
by Vincent Massol 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hi, I've noticed that wikimodel uses the space character for representing quotes in XWiki syntax. Here's Mikhail's explanation: " These events are send by quotation blocks. Example: > The first line >> The second line >> The third line > The fourth line Gives the following sequence of events: <beginQuotation> <beginQuotationLine>The first line <beginQuotation> <beginQuotationLine>The second line </endQuotationLine> <beginQuotationLine>The third line</endQuotationLine> </endQuotation> </endQuotationLine> <beginQuotationLine>The fourth line </endQuotationLine> </endQuotation> In XWiki syntax quotation lines are represented by spaces at the beginning of each line. The quotation block is a block of lines starting from a space-prefixed line. Something like . The first line .. The second line .. The third line . The fourth line (I used the "." symbol to show a space) In CommonSyntax quotation blocks starts with the ">" symbol as I wrote in the example above. " I don't think we've really been using leading spaces to represent quotes, have we? Also I don't think the space character is a good character for this. So my question here: Do we want to have a syntax for quotes/block quotes? And what character to use? I think we do want to have this syntax and the ">" character sounds good to me. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [New Rendering] Macro syntax
by Vincent Massol 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hi, Right now wikimodel implements the following syntax for xwiki macros: 1) {{macro param1="value1" param2="value2"}}content{{/macro}} {{macro param1=value1 param2=value2}}content{{/macro}} This is different from the original proposal of: 2) {{macro:param1="value1"|param2="value2"}}content{{/macro}} Notes: * I think 1) is cleaner and easier to read * There's no default param in 1) so you don't write something like: {{include:Main.WebHome}}. You have to write: {{include document=Main.WebHome}} * 2) is the same as the current syntax Which do we want? I don't have any particular preference. Thanks -Vincent
