I really think we need wysiwyg, same as for content because it's wiki syntax. Could you explain your rationale for not having wiki syntax in the title field? Also not having wysiwyg will not remove the WTF effect we currently have, see http://markmail.org/thread/jwbbz4ypjqcpwral Thanks -Vincent >> * 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 > This is interesting too, but I don't have a strong opinion, although not > extracting titles anymore would be wonderful :) . >> <side> >> * Introduce a {{i18n}} macro (or {{translate}}, or …) >> </side> > > +1 > > I think we should also have a discussion about the purpose of the title (now > that we can put anything in document name) and how titles should be used by > default by the platform, but I need to clear the ideas a bit in my head > before starting it. > > Thanks, > Anca > >> >> 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 _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
