Sounds good. I've skimmed very quickly through
http://www.realsolve.co.uk/site/tech/jface-text.php
and this is my understanding too. Some open questions/remarks/
comments I have:
* What I'm not sure yet (since I haven't read that far ;)) is how you
plug the IDocumentPartitioner to the syntax highlighting.
* XDOM is a tree, i.e. Blocks are nested. Are the partitions nested too?
* Re the offset and lengthn I think this is something interesting that
could be added to the new rendering module. Since the underlying
parsers (wikimodel, doxia) don't pass this information to us we would
need to compute it. It would allow us to answer the question "what
block is located at location NN in the source document".
* We need to get Marius' input since he's working on the new WYSIWYG
editor for XWiki and maybe he has some similar needs/issues.
Also I see that JFace has lots of existing rule-based APIs to simply
parsing/scanning (a la http://jparsec.codehaus.org/) so I'm still
unsure if we can plug the rendering parser in a natural manner.
I don't know JFace at all so some advice from someone who knows it
would be nice.
Thanks

I have looked at the parser and rendering api. I think we can
integrate with
the jface editor in the following way
We can extract blocks from the XDOM object created by the
parser.Then if we
can find a way to map these blocks with non overlapping partitions
defined
in the jface,then it seems like we can integrate both.As I have
realised
partitions need the offset and the length with respect to the xwiki
document.I think we need to add 2 methods to the Block inteface to
get the
offset and the length.
According to my current undestanding we need to impliment the
IDocumentPartitioner inteface and use the excisting xwiki parser in
thet
implimentation.The main perpose of the implimentation is to map the
blocks
in to partitions.
please give your comments on this Hi Fabio, Malaka,
After my discussion with Stephane, we've decided that Malaka should
continue with improving the core editor as such..
That is, better syntax highlighting and stuff..
I've implemented a bit of ContentOutline Page, (that shows the
overall
view of the page, like titles, paragraphs overview etc), as a
TreeViewer implementation.
For now, I'll try to integrate the present editor with xeclipse
extension. Then, I'd try to introduce wikimodel support, that is,
conversion of one syntax to another syntax. For this, I think we'll
have to code editors for all other syntaxes too, since after
conversion, we'll have to support editing in that syntax.. right??
No please don't do this! This is exactly what I have written in the
new rendering module. I'd like that both Malaka and you spend some
time understanding the new rendering module. Please ask as many
questions as you want here since it's not currently well documented
but please don't reinvent the wheel. > Also I'd like to know if the new
