which zem_tpl plugin? (html help)
Hi there,
which is the official zem_tpl plugin compiler?
There is a supposedly newer version in http://svn.textpattern.com/development/4.0-plugin-template/ so I started using this one… but I just noticed it silently ignores plain html in the help section…
Is this a bug? or a feature?
Which version should I use?
I checked the svn log and it seems that, at some point, zem put something about allowing html help… but I don’t see any doc about this anywhere…
$ svn log zem_tpl.php

Add (updated) plugin-template and plugin compiler to repo. Adds compression (optional) and unprocessed help-text.

Re: which zem_tpl plugin? (html help)
Look at the zem_plugin.php file:
// 0 = Plugin help is in Textile format, no raw HTML allowed (default).
// 1 = Plugin help is in raw HTML. Not recommended.
# $plugin['allow_html_help'] = 1;Offline

Thanx a lot, ruud… that happens to me for using a plugin written for the older version (that didn’t had that commented-out line).

Why is html help not recommended?

I have no idea. I set that option to ‘1’ all the time.

I think it was due to a complaint about the potential security risk (XSS). I seem to recall I bugged about keeping the possibility because some things simply can’t be done in Textile, plus we have the preview.

Re: which zem_tpl plugin? (html help)
Is there a reason why style attributes applied with Textile vanish from the compiled plugin help? For example:
h2{background:#ffc}. A HeadingProduces this:
<h2>A Heading</h2>Also, any attempt to use angle brackets results in the entity codes (< and >) appearing in the help. That makes it really tough to give plugin tag examples. Am I doing something wrong?

Restricted Textile is used for plugin help. See my previous comment.

Oh, I see now that the Textileing is actually done in the core (txp_plugin.php) and not by zem_tpl.php. Thanks for setting me straight.
