Hi devs,
I need to take a decision on this. Right now parseContent() is used to
render some text using only Velocity and Groovy renderers. This is
used in several places:
* resource properties values
* TextArea class rendering if the type is "velocitycode"
* in sendValidationEmail() for rendering the content extracted from an
object property
* in the TOC generation for rendering the section titles -- BTW this
means no wiki syntax in section titles right now
* more...
The decision:
1) either I wrap the content passed to parseContent() in {{velocity}}
{{groovy}}{{nowiki}}...{{/nowiki}}{{/groovy}}{{/velocity}}
2) either I render it normally but in this case we change the values
used.
For examples in ApplicationResources.propeties this mean changing:
viewcodetitle=Wiki code for <em>$doc.displayTitle</em>
to:
viewcodetitle=Wiki code for ~~{{velocity}}$doc.displayTitle{{/
velocity}}~~
It also means removing the difference between "velocitycode" and
"fullyrendered" for TextAreas since they would be the same. Would
remain only "puretext" and "fullyrendered". This means that if you
have some TextArea for which you wish velocity rendering but no wiki
syntax rendering you would write: {{velocity}}{{nowiki}}...{{/nowiki}}
{{/velocity}}.
Basically it means deprecating parseContent() in favor of
getRenderedContent() since they would have the same behavior.
My preference goes to 2) but I'm not sure how to make that work during
the transition period where we have the 2 renderings. So I think we
don't have the choice and for the moment we should do 1).
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
