Hi guys,
Some time back we started improving title handling, I'd like that we continue
this and I'm proposing some further improvements below:
* Make the title field contain wiki syntax (same as the content field) instead
of just velocity
* Make the title field a textarea so that we can have more than 1 line
* Display a textarea of 1 line initially (to preserve space) but enlarge the
textarea visibility by several line on the first Enter keypress in the field
* Stop trying to extract title content from the doc content
* Have a backward compat param to still support the old mode, but have it off
by default in 4.2/4.3
<side>
* Introduce a {{i18n}} macro (or {{translate}}, or …)
</side>
Advantages:
* Same as the content field - More consistency
* More power since we use wiki syntax and we can use any script language
* Removes the WTF symptom when a user edits a page having velocity script in
the title since they'll see it displayed in WYSIWYG mode with the title content
evaluated
* Removes the uncertainty about title extraction (for ex if some macro
generates headings) but still allow it if it's really needed - Since the user
will be able to write scripts in the title textarea and those scripts can
extract stuff from the doc content if they really need it
* We'll be able to add a l18n macro and thus display the title translations
nicely in the wysiwyg editor
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
