Bug #: 36278
Summary: [wikitext] respect attribute=class for HTML
elements={ol, ul} with inner wikitext, e.g., for Slidy
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16.x
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Parser
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I'm currently using the brilliant extension mw-slidy
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Mw-slidy
to display wiki content using Slidy
http://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy2/
on a MW is provided by a contractor
- version=1.16.0--please let me know if that's too downlevel
- also unfortunately behind a firewall
for my group @ US EPA. This allows us to automagically display our MediaWiki
content (and we use MW extensively) as "real slides" for presentation: IMHO
that's a major productivity gain, and should be more widely adopted. mw-slidy
basically works as advertised
https://github.com/dov/mw-slidy/blob/master/README.mediawiki
(with one minor exception
https://github.com/dov/mw-slidy/issues/1
) which is great. Notably mw-slidy delivers "Incremental display of slide
contents" as described @
http://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy2/#%289%29
but it has an authoring problem which it seems to inherit from the wikitext
parser (unless I'm missing something). I would like to be able to write
<ol class="incremental">
# discuss ''problems''
# target ''etiologies''
# float generic ''solutions''
# pitch specific ''implementations''
# ''discuss'' ...
</ol>
This will display, but not incrementally; rather, the entire list displays at
once. In order to display list items one-at-a-time in the slidy show, I must
instead write HTML, i.e.,
<ol class="incremental">
<li>discuss <em>problems</em></li>
<li>target <em>etiologies</em></li>
<li>float generic <em>solutions</em></li>
<li>pitch specific <em>implementations</em></li>
<li><em>discuss</em> ...</li>
</ol>
which obviously loses one of the ease-of-authoring advantages of wikitext. It
appears this is due to MW not respecting (or passing along) attribute=class for
HTML elements={ol, ul} with inner wikitext: am I missing something?
Note further that Slidy/mw-slidy supports outlining via the same mechanism: see
http://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy2/#%2810%29
