".." is commonly used in describing a continuation, for instance 3..7 is for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
IMO the proposed use of .. is then counter-intuitive. I prefer a simple dot. We could use an arrow but -> is awkward in an html oriented language so it's a no-starter. We could use ^ but it may interfer in regexp. it would probably be no big deal though. We could have a mix. for instance: main field is "date." sub-fields are "date.^value" or "date.^format" or "date.^units". the other way around: main field is "date^" sub-fields are "date^.value" or "date^.format" or "date^.units". question: are sub-fields regular fields in the end, just being taken in charge by a set of ad-hoc macros and filters and templates? there would be a lot to tinker depending of the choces being made. or are sub-field a brand new mechanism of 1st-class core components? just suggestions... -- Jean-Pierre Le mardi 4 mai 2021 à 11:32:04 UTC+2, PMario a écrit : > On Tuesday, May 4, 2021 at 11:27:49 AM UTC+2 PMario wrote: > > I still want to have sec-expanded-years >> <https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-expanded-years> as in >> https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/YaFzHXfjnFc/m/jpQJrSi8BwAJ >> and: SI prefix multipliers >> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year#SI_prefix_multipliershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year%23SI_prefix_multipliers> >> >> as in: >> https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/YaFzHXfjnFc/m/l5S9-TnaBwAJ from >> the same thread. >> > > And I want, that TW-fields can handle this. eg: long-ago..from, > long-ago..to > > just an idea ;) > -mario > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
