Hi,
The ConText Garden wiki has numerous short example sprinkled
throughout its pages. I presume that they are hard-coded in the page.
if the example breaks (due to a ConTeXt bug or backwards-incompatible
enhancement), I imagine there is no notification.
What do you think about creating a repository of examples that are
included by embedding a website address instead of direct text? For
example:
1. User visits wiki.
2. User edits a page (e.g., Command/setuphead).
3. User names and uploads a .tex document.
4. System generates unique hyperlink for .tex document.
5. System generates and includes embed code into wiki page, such as:
context href=http://wiki.contextgarden.net/context/examples/file.tex; /
context href=/context/examples/file.tex /
Also, source=yes and mode=mkiv should be the default. Then, if the
person editing the page wants to include the output, the full example
might resemble:
context href=/context/examples/file.tex
This produces:
context output=yes href=/context/examples/file.tex
Having the complete examples separated allows the snippets to be
tested automatically. Broken .tex examples (unless explicitly flagged)
would result in notifications being sent to the page maintainer(s). A
broken example could be flagged as:
context notify=no href=/context/examples/file.tex
Another advantage is that all the examples could be downloaded and
possibly referenced in other media.
Makes sense, but someone needs to coordinate that, read: you. I suggest
you discuss it with Sietse who is in charge if the wiki. Also, Mojca has
to agree on the structure of things.
