big +1, the simple fact that the ways it works currently make it impossible to change "?" by something else just by skinning is already enough for me to change it. On Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 12:52 PM, Anca Paula Luca <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi devs,
starting from a Wysiwyg implementation issue, we had a discussion yesterday about marking links towards new pages in the wiki. Right now, a question mark ('?') text is appended to the end of the link label and coloured properly. I would like to change this into using exclusively css, for the following reason: * this question mark represents *styling only*: it's as if we'd colour links towards new pages with a different color (the way mediawiki does), therefore this information (either it's a qm, or colour or whatever) should *not appear as part of the document content*, the way a ? text does (the raw HTML contains it).
One method of doing this in CSS is appending the text itself (with :after pseudoelement), but that is not cross-browser, and the other method is using an image for the question mark.
I'm +1 for the image qm for 2 more reasons (besides the cross browser issue): * this information would not append to document content at all (e.g. if I copied the rendered document content in an ascii editor, I wouldn't have the ?) * it is a solution closer to the colour solution or marking the link to a new page with a non-character sign (see, for example, the way mediawiki marks external links) -- we can decide to change that anytime and we *don't have to change rendering rules* which makes very much sense to me.
Here's the issue on JIRA for this solution: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2803
WDYT?
Happy coding, Anca Luca _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
