Re: [galaxy-dev] complex help for conditional param

2014-05-28 Thread Peter Cock
Hi Jun,

Thanks for the clarification - I did not read your question carefully
enough, sorry.

I don't think this is possible. What I would use is just:

  
  BLASTN, for DNA against DNA
 BLASTP, for protein against protein
  

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

 I am afraid that the link you gave me could not solve the problem. The 
question I asked is about the help element, not the label attribute for data 
element.
 To clarify my question, here is the code which does not work, but shows 
what I intend to do:


BLASTN
BLASTP


BLAST DNA against DNA



BLAST protein against protein



  I tried to set the help content according to the selected type, which 
works like a section header to the following param list.
  Obviously this does not work. Then I tried a less-fancy way by providing 
static help context by adding  under select param like

BLASTN: BLAST DNA against DNA, BLASTP: BLAST protein 
against protein
BLASTN
  Of course it works but in an ugly formatting text. Is there any document 
to format it nicely, e.g. a list?

Best regards!
Jun

You can do this kind of thing with one-line Cheetah syntax within the output 
XML tag, but it quickly gets very complicated. e.g.

[galaxy-dev] complex help for conditional param

2014-05-27 Thread Jun Fan
Hi all,

   In the conditional param, when sub-element allows you to write specific 
parameters for a particular value selected. I am wondering how to write the 
help context according to the value selection. For example, if there is a 
conditional param called blast_type, when "blastn" is selected, the help 
context will be "blast dna against dna" and when "blastp" is selected, the help 
context will be "blast protein against protein". Basically this selection-based 
help text provides a general description of the selection, which could help to 
set up the corresponding parameters.
  By the way, is there any document about formatting text in the help 
element?

Best regards!
