Hi devs,
Do we have a specification for what a tag is inside XWiki? On
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Tag+Application
tags are defined as keywords but no constraints are specified.
I'd like to enforce this two constraints on tags:
* tags can't have leading and trailing white space characters
+1.
* tags' case is saved but case is ignored
when comparing two tags (once
you defined a tag "news" you can't define a new tag "News"; the
existing
tag is reused; tag's case is used only for display)
+0.
To answer Vincent's problem, changing the case of a tag could be done
via the tag rename. What would happen with case sensitivity?
For example, renaming http into HTTP while Http
exists, should Http be
changed to HTTP as well, or only exact, case-sensitive matches of http
be renamed?
I think Http should be changed as well because it means the same thing.
Displaying the same (-semantically) tag in different ways is confusing.
I prefer consistency.
Thanks,
Marius
Optionally, we could enforce that tags can't
contain white spaces.
-1.
WDYT?
If no one is against it then I'd like to change the UI to apply these
constraints.
