Ted Kandell <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #67 from Ted Kandell <[email protected]> 2009-03-30 16:34:54 UTC --- A good use of the String functions would be to parse Newick tree format (Newick notation) files which is the standard way of minimally representing phylogenetic trees. Trees are now an important data structure in Wikipedia, and it's very difficult to edit these by hand and to get them to align and display properly. A simple {{newick}} template could then convert a Newick string into a properly displayed tree. This may seem trivial compared to the other reasons, but just check the myriad ways that trees are now represented in MediaWiki. Having this template would allow trees to be created and edited in external tools and just dropped in. I don't see any other way of parsing such a format without the String Functions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
