Sergiu, ThomasM, JV, Marius, Asiri (and other committers): are you ok
with iii).
yes, go for iii)
Barring any more answers, I'll start implementing
it in 1
hour (it seems the right solution to me anyway).
Implementation note: I'll still introduce an onImage() event and an
ImageBlock class. Also as Jerome mentioned I'll use the text specified
as the label as is.
Thanks

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs Basically there are now 2
possibilities:
i) using a special syntax for parameters for links and images. For
links that could be [[label>>reference>>>parameters]]. Note that we
might also need such a special syntax for inline verbatim blocks.
ii) using 2 generic syntaxes for parameters:
(% ... %) for applying parameters only to the next element
{% ... %} ... {%%} for applying parameters to the elements inside
Which one do you prefer?
I think we have an issue for i) anyway (for verbatim inline elements
for example).
My preference goes to ii) [EDITED: was i)].
After speaking to Mikhail (wikimodel
creator) there's a third
possibility:
iii) using the same syntax for links, images and attachments. Namely:
Links:
[[label>>reference||params]]
Images:
[[label>>image:wiki:Space.Page^my.png||params]]
Attachments (download link):
[[label>>attach:wiki:Space.Page^my.png||params]]
This means that it would also be possible to use links, images and
attachments directly in the text using the form:
This is a http://... URL
This is an image:my.png image
This is my word attach:my.doc document
Notes:
* The "label" for images would correspond to the alt/title attribute.
Thus the wiki syntax inside would be transformed into text (for
example: "Hello **world**" would generate "Hello world")
* It would currently not be possible to disambiguate between a
subwiki
named "image", "attach" and displaying an image or linking to an
attachment. This would be fixed later on when we change the FQN
(Fully
Qualified Name) for Documents in order to support nested spaces.
* This means that we can keep using (% %) notation and there's no
need
to define a new {% ... %} notation.
* It means we need to introduce the "||" separator for link
parameters
* It is completely inline with the wikimodel way of handling images.
* There's no need to introduce a new onImage() event. However we
might
want to rename our begin/endLink() events to beginReference()/
endReference().
I personally like this solution except for the fact that since we've
introduced wiki syntax in place of labels we would be tweaking the
model a bit since there's no need for begin/end for images. That said
we could also add an onImage() event and emit it at the parser level
so that the label would always contain pure text (if we have "hello
**world**" we would use "hello **world**").
I'm hesitating between ii) and iii).
WDYT?
Thanks
