Will the tag generator be updated?
There have been many improvements concerning the standard textpattern tags. Will the tag generator (on the page and the form tab) be updated before the next release?
At the moment this tag generator isn’t usable because it is so outdated so you have to look at textpattern.ent to find all possible tags and attributes. It would be very handy if the generator got an update!

Will the tag generator be updated?
Yes indeed. I’ve got a couple more tag changes (oh you’ll like these…) to do first though. :)

Updated in the latest svn. Lemme know if there’s any mistakes.

Good work, Mary!
What about conditional tags? It would be quite good to have them in the list, too.
And by the way, what about using some kind of lightbox to show the tag builder? I’m not asking this because lightbox is some kind of hip at the moment but because I often have the problem that I copied some code from the tag builder pop up and switched to the main interface and later wanted to open the tag builder again and lost the pop up window anywhere in the background areas of my desktop. Lightbox solves this problem because everything is just in one single window.

Would you be able to copy the code from the lightbox and paste it without closing the tag builder? Haven’t played enough with lightbox/thickbox to know if that’s possible.
Of course opening the tagbuilder could also just bring the open window (if it still exists) back up to the forefront. Which would probably be easier then switching to a whole new popup method.
I think it would require changing the popup code to not call window.open directly but a function like
bc..
function txppopup(url,name,atts) {
var txpWin = window.open(url, name, atts);
txpWin.focus();
return false;
}
and then you could just change the onclicks from
onclick="window.open(this.href, 'popupwindow', 'width=400,height=400,scrollbars,resizable'); return false;"to
onclick="return txppopup(this.href,'popupwindow','width=400,height=400,scrollbars,resizable')this should bring the tag builder window back into focus when you activate them again.
Just a thought.

@ Nils: It’s only meant to be a quick reference, not a full one.
@Patrick: That’s already been done in svn.

Fantastico. I haven’t been able to keep up with the SVN releases. I’m hoping that changes in a month or so.
