[xwiki-devs] set doctype for xwiki pages
by ancapaula.luca＠xwiki.com 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hi devs, the current templates for xwiki pages include a xhtml standard <DOCTYPE> for any html page generated which triggers the standard mode CSS interpretation in browsers (see http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html for details). This causes issues in applications that use GWT generated code (like XWatch) since GWT does not work properly in standards mode yet (see http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=1305 for details). I propose to parametrize the document type definition (its existance and type), thus allowing the developer to take control of the type of document it generates, for each generated page. The solutions would be: - using a request parameter to specify the doctype - using a $response function, just like $response.setContentType() to set the doctype at render time (this solution might require post processing to change the default generated doctype in the page). WDYT?

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Upgrade our official Maven distribution for building XWiki
by Vincent Massol 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi, I've been using Maven 2.1 snapshot built from maven trunk for more than a week now and didn't get any issue. I'd like to propose that we remove our old maven zip and replace it with a recent trunk version. This will allow: * fixing lots of maven bugs we have since we're using an old maven version * putting us on the maven 2.1 release track. This will allow us to detect any issue and report it to the maven team so that the final 2.1 release will work for us Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Make Toucan the default skin in 1.3M2
by Vincent Massol 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi, I'm proposing to make toucan the default skin in 1.3M2. Several reasons: 1) It's nicer and cleaner than Albatross 2) If we want to get feedback on it we need it to make it the default. It's important to do this now so that we can deliver a perfect Toucan for 1.3 final 3) One of the highlight of the 1.3 release is the new skin Here's a big +1 from me. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Archiva on maven.xwiki.org
by Vincent Massol 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi devs, I've just installed Archiva on http://laam.xpertnet.biz:8080/archiva/index.action under my account there. Raffaello will probably move it somewhere else in the near future. http://laam.xpertnet.biz:8080/archiva Right now I've configured it to: * Remove snapshots that are older than 30 days * Keep the last 2 snapshots artifacts * Delete snapshots when a released version exist Now let's monitor how it goes... Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] What's left for 1.3M2?
by Vincent Massol 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi, As planned I'd like to release 1.3M2. It was planned for today but since we're still busy I propose to do the release over the week end and on monday morning. Is there anything we're still working on that prevents 1.3M2 from being released? And if so when can you have these finished? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Anyone familiar with ANTLR?
by Vincent Massol 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Hi, I'm trying to write a XWiki parser and I'm having some issue writing an ANTLR grammar for it. More specifically the following grammar doesn't recognize "{macro/}": http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/AntlrGrammarXWiki If some of you have some experience with Antlr, I'd be grateful for some help. In the meantime I'll keep searching... Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Architecture] New xwiki rendering component - HTML events needed?
by Vincent Massol 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Hi, Here's some design details on the new xwiki rendering component I'm writing, for which I'd like to have feedback from the dev community. Sources: http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/sandbox/components/xwiki-rendering/xwiki-rende… In the new design, macros are parsed and generate "MacroBlock"s events in the Listener. Here are some refinements I'm proposing: * MacroBlock has a traverse(Listener) method. * In order to make Macros independent on the Listener (this is very important IMO in order to allow for any kind of transformations) we need to make the MacroBlocks emit Listener events. * Since the wiki syntax is not enough to generate all possible rendering options (for example no wiki syntax for XHTML forms) we have 2 options: 1) add as many Listener events as there are XHTML features or 2) add an onHTMLElement(...) event in the Listener * Option 2) (onHTMLElement) looks much better IMO (simpler, can evolve with the HTML spec, faster, etc) This allows for example to have a iText renderer to generate PDFs from page content which would be way more difficult if the HTML was passed as standard text (this would need to reparse again the content of Listener's onText() calls. Same applies for any Listener/Renderer since they'll need to have some special handling for HTML. Of course since WikiModel and Doxia don't have HTML events in their Listener/Sink we'll need to perform some mapping when we want to use bridge to them. It probably means we'll need to output the HTML elements as simple text events for them. WDYT? Mikhail, I'm curious to know how you're handling this use case in wikimodel. Thanks -Vincent
