[xwiki-devs] How to handle XHTML output for semantic properties?
by Vincent Massol 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Hi, I'm implementing semantic properties in XWiki Syntax 2.0 http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3320 I've done the wikimodel part and I'm now wondering how what XHTML we should generate in the XHTML renderer (and thus what XHTML should the wysiwyg handle). Here's an example input: %%property1 ((( %%property2 **value2** %%property3 value3 ))) Right now one solution I've found is to serialize the property content in xwiki syntax 2.0 and output it as a comment in the XHTML renderer:  (note: we could have  instead of start/stopproperty, that's a detail) Then the XHTML parser would use the xwiki syntax 2.0 parser on the content of the comment to generate events. Since it's not very trivial to serialize to xwiki syntax in the XHTML renderer I'd like to know what you think or if you have a better idea. I guess we could also do something like: <div class="'xwiki-semantic property1"> <div class="xwiki-semantic property2> <p> <strong>value2</strong> </p> </div> <div class="xwiki-semantic property3"> <p> value3 </p> </div> </div> Note: we would use span for inline semantic properties instead of divs. And then have a CSS with display:none for ".xwiki-semantic" The advantage of this latter solution are: * Easier to implement for the XHTML renderer and XHTML parser * Is in line with HCARD if we want to support it (and we probably do), see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3320?focusedCommentId=39554&page=co… WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Does DB2 support virtual wiki?
by Norbert Xie 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Hi, I am new to XWiki. I was trying to set up virtual wiki using DB2 v9.1 or v9.5. First I installed XWiki Enterprise Manager on Tomcat and set up DB2 following the "Installation DB2" guide. After that I tried to create virtual wikis using XEM. But when I clicked "Create new wiki" link in the XWiki Enterprise Manager and enter "wikitest" as wiki identifier, it kept prompting that "A database with this identifier already exists". But the fact is that I don't have a database named "wikitest" on my DB2. Then I found out that no matter what I typed in the wiki identifier text box, it all prompted "A database with this identifier already exists". This prevents me from creating a virtual wiki. Can anyone help me out? Thanks very much in advance! BTW, I can successfully create virtual wikis on MySQL and access them.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] - Behavior of the enter key in the new WYSIWYG editor
by Guillaume Lerouge 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Hi devs, right now we need to hit enter twice in a row to create a new paragraph. Although I strongly pushed this implementation back in the day, it is proving to be counter-intuitive for almost all users. After a review of a number of other tools (including OpenOffice & online text editors) & reading of posts on the topic, I came to the conclusion that we'd better come back to the previous behavior for the enter key: - Hitting enter once creates a new paragraph - Hitting caps + enter creates a new line in the same paragraph When writing, users tend to write a number of sentences (most of the time between 3 and 7 of them) and then hit enter to create a new paragraph. The issue sometimes encountered is that an user writes a single line, then hits enter to find out that a lot of spacing is entered between both lines. This issue can easily be fixed through CSS in the default XWiki Enterprise distribution (we could use OOo as a source of inspiration for the respective line heights between 2 lines & 2 paragraphs - right now I'd say the height between 2 paragraphs is a bit too big). Additionally, this would "fix" the "issue" currently encountered by users when they input 2 lines and try to make one of them a title: - User inputs line of text, hits enter, inputs 2nd line - User puts caret at the end of first line and selects "Title 1" - Both lines are turned into a title -> weird This behavior is unexpected from an end-user point of view and would be fixed by coming back to the previousbehavior for the enter key. WDYT? Guillaume PS: I'm really sorry about the additional work incurred by my initial lack of understanding of the role of paragraphs -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype ID : wikibc http://guillaumelerouge.com/

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Introduce new Raw event/block in rendering to replace the current XML events/blocks
by Vincent Massol 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Hi, We've had an interesting discussion with Thomas about the need to introduce a new onRawText() event in the rendering module to replace the current begin/endXML() events. Here's the need (discovered by Ludovic): * In some cases we want to inject rendered content directly in the renderer's output. For example there are some cases where we want to inject HTML directly (in order to bypass parsing) What we propose: * Remove the current XML events * Add a onRawText(Syntax syntax) event and a corresponding RawBlock block. A raw text is text injected directly in the rendered output without any parsing/modification. Note that the content depends completely on the rendered used hence the Syntax parameter. * Add a new {{raw syntax="syntaxId"}} macro so that users can inject content in the few cases where it's needed * Modify the HTML Macro to use RawBlock blocks instead of XMLBlock. Also add a new "clean=true|false" parameter (defaut is to clean). When clean = true, we pass the content to the HTML cleaner. <Implementation note>We still need to parse the content when wiki=true. We generate RawBlock blocks when we have startElement/ endElement/CDATA/Comment xml parser events.</Implementation note> This solves a number of issues: * We have a generic way to inject rendered content directly for the special cases when it's needed (ex: the user really wants to inject invalid HTML such as META tags in the body content) * We remove the XML events which were a bit weird to have in the first place. Note that we'll probably need to add some new events in the future such as one for demarcating a set of blocks (which would translate in DIV or SPAN in the XHTML renderer for example). This is needed for example for the Box Macro which is currently using XMLBlock but that's not completely correct. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Office Importer] Shall we allow height & width attributes of <img> tags under 'strict' filtering mode?
by Asiri Rathnayake 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi Devs, First of all, sorry about the long email subject :) Our style filter is working quite nicely and users so far like it very much :). Still, word documents sometimes contain really really (I mean really) huge images embedded in them. In such cases since our style filter rips off height & width attributes of <img> tags, images run way off the page boundaries (looks very ugly). Following are the only attributes currently allowed with our style filter: a --> href, name img --> alt, src td --> colspan, rowspan I think we have to add height & width attributes into this set (under img tag) because heights & widths are not actually styling attributes (IMO). Note: We are discussing about cleaning OO generated html content that comes from a word document, not about general html cleaning. WDYT? Thanks. - Asiri
