Hi All,

I'd like to make a proposal for designating a 'class' tag to be introduced into generated anchor tags.

Specifically, for tags generated like this: [[blah#anchor~stylename][Text to display]]. This will turn into

<a href="whatever#anchor" class="stylename">Text to display</a>

This might be useful in other linked situations. Currently the code to support this is added to the specificLink function, but it might actually be useful in the internalLink function so as to cover more generated links.

What do you guys think?

The change is quite simple...here I list it as diffs from 01 Feb 2003 version. I've mimencoded it to avoid problems with substitution and wrapping. I hope this makes it through.

No answer, but what is the above, and how do I read it? Usually if you post code with the <pre> tags, it is readable.

-- RandyKramer - 20 Mar 2003

Ken - if you can just attach your patch file using the Attach link at bottom of this page, it will be much easier to review. Thanks for the patch - see the PatchGuidelines for help on this.

-- RichardDonkin - 20 Mar 2003

Also, for tracking it is better to post FeatureEnhancementRequests in the Codev web, not here is Support.

Answer

Oh, blush I guess I wasn't thinking. I'll attach the patch.

The way to use the above patch (on a unix-a-like system):

   $ cat | mimencode -u > patch.txt
   <copy text above, and paste it in>
   <ctrl-d>
   $

Now the patch in patch.txt, to apply it would be something like this:

   $ patch TWiki.pm patch.txt

This is really part of a much broader issue, that of converting the html rendered by twiki into smart separation of content from presentation logic so that we can use CSS. Energy is gathering for this but a specific project has not yet been initiated. See Codev.HardwiredColours and Codev.TWikiUsingCSS.
