[docs] Say goodbye to my little tag builder
Never used the Tag Builder in the Pages and Forms tab, instead always opted to open a tab to the tag reference on the wiki. Always thought about a backend link to the tag reference, an easier way to look things up.
Today I installed WordPress to run a benchmark test against Textpattern. Before deleting it off my web server, I went into the Edit Themes section and brought up their index.php in the editor window.
What’s this is see? Documentation, with a drop down showing the functions used in index.php, there’s a Look Up button, select get_footer, click look up, taken to the WordPress code reference, how neat.
We can do the same, no?

I work in the same way. +1 for a link to the wiki.

A great man I know said this about software:
We can do anything. We just can’t do everything.
So yes in principle, it’s a neat idea when time or resources permit. I imagine we could borrow some code from the parser in adi_form_links which extracts forms in use so you can jump to them directly for editing and just link to the various docs around the Txp universe instead.
The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Note: wiki is in transition from MediaWiki to a Textpattern install eventually, so not safe/reliable to link to long-term.

Actually the new docs will probably be powered by Jekyll, so we can keep the pages as flat files editable in GitHub.
There is no reason why you couldn’t also use those doc pages for other stuff such as inline help – I am gradually Textile formatting them anyway as I take them out of the Wiki. Do what you want with them.

A wiki is still a useful resource, I like my wiki, I use DokuWiki. Since it’s all flat files, it’s super easy to inject in new content, no need to deal with the web interface. There are LibreOffice macros to convert any document into a Doku ready page.
As for the Textpattern install, I think it serves the tag reference really well (see signature). I did the txp:tag – Template Tags site, because it’s just faster to get things done on your own, than to get into committee mode, like you’ve done with the demo site.

Oh, I totally agree – I was just sounding an advisory so you didn’t get too far along the road with linking to textpattern.net with wiki-esque linkage.
