Hi,
The discussion started in http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/hqvmy34jfknb2waa but since it's an important decision I'm making it a full thread here.
The idea is to know how we want to represent query string and anchors in links to documents in XWiki Syntax 2.1.
In 2.0 we were using: [[label>>whatever?queryString#anchor]]
The proposal is to move query string and anchor to a link parameter.
It be done like this:
[[label>>doc:mypage||parameters="a=b&c=d" anchor="..."]]
We could decide to use another syntax for parameters (ie query string) such as:
[[label>>doc:mypage||parameters="a=b,c=d" anchor="..."]]
This would make it a little bit less URL-specific.
The pros of this approach are: - no need for the user to escape the ? and # characters in document names
? and # no but the content of "parameters" attribute will need an escaping syntax (either the URL one or another one if we decide to choose another syntax)
- makes the syntax a little bit less "magic" and more formal
The cons: - Takes a bit longer to write - A new syntax to learn
WDYT?
+1 for the idea in general but not sure about the proper syntax for "parameters" attribute
Thanks -Vincent
