Hi All, Read with interest all the comments. I am trying to help and it is warming to read that you seem to agree. Other lists I have been on are less welcoming.
Imtaz's comments are right but I would go further and argue for a rewrite of all the filter docs. The one thing I have learned is the central and crucial role of filters to the extent that I believe they need a 'Book' on their own. Filters drive just about everything and understanding them, their role and how to code them is most crucial. Secondly, how to address stuff needs a rewrite, what bracket/brace/underscore configuration drives me crazy and every time I get my problem fixed and then apply that to the next wiki text statement to have it fail makes things worse. I don't believe the problem is because TW is a declarative language. I have used other such languages and they don't suffer from this. It sounds as if the scope of today's browsers contributes and maybe that needs to be looked at. Looking at HTML/CSS though, the early days of hard coding have been replaced by IDE's. Maybe TW needs to change to something like an IDE with sound foundation in language grammar and possibly restrict what can be done through the IDE but with a hook to let the experienced programmer do what they want with appropriate responsibilities on results of course. Mario, the examples I mentioned used code like '.operator parameter'. I'll find some and mail them to this list.
