Maybe revision could be abbreviated to rev, since the others
are abbreviated too (lang, pub)?
good idea.
should we introduce a new source factory of the same name that follows
the same semantics? that way, we can slowly deprecate the old
lenyadoc:// stuff that's hard to read and easy to get wrong because of
the positional parameters.
Hmmm, I'm a little slow on the uptake this morning, what do you mean
with "a new source factory of the same name that follows the same
semantics"?
well, the original topic was just a syntax to store internal links in
documents. these are rewritten by a link rewriter on delivery, and never
really touch an actual source factory.
but when i realized that those named parameters are a nice way to avoid
the hard-to-read and error-prone positional parameters that we currently
have to use with the lenyadoc:// source factory, i thought we might
create an actual lenya-document:// source factory that uses the named
paramater semantics as well.
it would allow to specify arbitrarily precise links (i.e. everything
that's not specified, such as area or pub, is taken from the page
envelope context). that way, you could say lenya-document:?lang=fr and
just change the language, or lenya-document:?rev=3 and just show another
revision.
this could slowly replace the current lenyadoc: mechanism (which would
be declared deprecated).
wdyt?
(btw, great to hear from you again - hope your vacation was nice. it's
the old pro vs. amateur coder thing again - when i'm all in deep hack
mode, i.e. on weekends or over the holidays, everyone else just
disappears... another point for a quick release to get some new people
on board :)
