I'm a little confused as to how the wildcard matchers work here:
With a given URI snippets/samples/subdir/dummy-sitemap.xweb
{global.codebase} = ../annotated-code
That folder contains the files referenced by the pipeline.
<map:match pattern="*/**.*">
<map:generate type="slop" src="{global:codebase}/{2}.{3}">
Here we have four asterisks. By my understanding {1}, {2}, {3}, and
{4} respectively from left to right. Now {2}.{3} in this case is
"dummy-sitemap.xweb" because {2} is the filename and {3} the
extension, but from my understanding the last asterisk should match
the extension. This isn't the case, but I was hoping someone could
better elucidate the wildcard matching sequence there.
<map:match pattern="*/**.*">
1 2 3
a double asterisk is *one* match. The difference to a single asterisk is, that a
double asterisk also matches slashes.
