Re: Poll: useful 'escape' transforms
Escape in images is done now, please test.
Also, if someone needs to extend the available functions list in <txp:evaluate query />
, here is a tiny Easter eggs plugin. You can also enable CSS parsing and use css forms à la rah_external_output
. I don’t think we will enable these “virtual” prefs in 4.7 yet, but feel free to test (at your own risk).

It works nicely. Of course (and this goes for any place where escape="textile"
is used), now we have that nice side effect that the string to which it is applied is wrapped in a <p />
.
so for my example above, the output is:
<figcaption><p>a <em>test</em> image - something <strong>bold<strong></p></figcaption>
Nothing annoying for my use case, though.

BTW – speaking of evaluate
, I spotted this in the templates for the Textpattern main website:
width="<txp:evaluate query='ceiling(<txp:image_info type="w" />div2)' />"
Amazingly, I even manage to understand what it does… A question though, does the number in the div2
need to be an integer? Or can it be something like div1.5
? It did not immediately work in a quick test (the output was blank), but then I had some other issues with what I was trying and I did not have time to investigate that part further. Populating the srcset
attribute with multiple sizes can be giant pain.

Dunno what to do with this, prepend a space, perhaps?
<txp:evaluate escape="textile" wraptag="figcaption"> <txp:image_info type="caption" /></txp:evaluate>

No, <txp:evaluate query='ceiling(2.718 div 1.618)' />
is fine.

Winner! <txp:evaluate />
is truly magic.
No,
<txp:evaluate query='ceiling(2.718 div 1.618)' />
is fine.
Great, thanks. I’ll play with that.

Re: Poll: useful 'escape' transforms
I think the evaluate tag doc probably needs to be fleshed out a bit further. Doesn’t seem to capture how useful this tag is right now (and I don’t fully understand the tag myself so I can’t write about it).

Another possibility is to consider any undocumented escape
value xyz
as “unwrap <xyz />
tag”. Then the example above would become
<txp:image_info type="caption" escape="textile, p" wraptag="figcaption" />
A working commit is ready, I’m just not sure whether this is not too confusing.
Edit: BTW, escape="img"
would mean “remove images” (from Textile-formatted text), which could be handy in excerpts.

That is certainly interesting, and powerful. Confusing? Just a little, at first sight.
(I find myself increasingly in need to document my code snippets. The other day I was looking at some category related snippet that I coded some month ago. I had to read it over a few times before understanding what I intended to do).

Possibly some way to remove newlines but preserve spaces? Is that helpful, as distinct from
trim
?
Yes, I think, e.g. for “inline” Textile. I have added implode
value (the name to debate) that preg-replaces \s+
with a space and also prepends a space. So,
*This* is
a _test_
becomes first (space)*This* is a _test_
and then <strong>This</strong> is a <em>test</em>
when passed through escape="implode, textile"
.
