Hello fellow admins, developers, and gawkers,
We have several tag extensions that our authors misuse. Our talented authors
are able to find incorrect uses for our tags both logically and syntactically,
but the syntactical error checking would be of more general use. One of our
authors favorite abuses of our tag extensions is to have two opening tags
instead of one open and one close surrounding their data. (For example,
<sup>footnote<sup>). The authors are often very frustrated when they can't
figure out why they have tiny text that isn't going in a straight line and
because all they are missing is a slash they often can't see it in the wiki
text.
So are there any standard, tried-and-tested user error checking methods for
tags that anyone would like to share? Unfortunately, "get smarter users" won't
work for us.
I have already figured out the usefulness of
Function myTag( $input, $args, $parser ) {
If ( empty($input) ) {
Return wfMsg('mytag-error');
}
Else { ...}
}
Any insights would be appreciated.
Courtney Christensen
