|
|
|
|
Document Type Editing Packages (&DTEP;s) are used in &quantaplus; to add
|
|
|
|
|
support for markup, scripting languages, and &CSS;. They allow
|
|
|
|
|
&quantaplus; to provide features like auto-completion and node trees.
|
|
|
|
|
Their simplicity and flexibility are what make &quantaplus; a fast,
|
|
|
|
|
developer friendly &IDE; for web developers. They are what make &quantaplus;
|
|
|
|
|
an easy-to-use, productive environment.

|
&DTEP;s come in two flavors, Family 1, which are markups, and Family 2,
|
|
|
|
|
which are scripting and &CSS;. &DTEP;s are made up of two parts, the Tag
|
|
|
|
|
Folder and the Toolbars. Tag Folders are composed of two types of files,
|
|
|
|
|
the description.rc and TagXML files, which carry the extension .tag.
|
|
|
|
|
Toolbars are the handy, icon-oriented tabs of buttons (above the editing
|
|
|
|
|
window) which place text into a document faster than the user can type.

This document describes how to make TagXML files, the description.rc, and
|
|
|
|
|
toolbars. In short, a &DTEP;.

</para>
|
|

<para>
|
|

|
TagXML files (.tag) define both the attributes specific to a tag and the
|
|
|
|
|
layout and contents of the properties dialog &quantaplus; shows for the tag.
|
|
|
|
|
The description.rc file provides rules and information on the &DTEP;
|
|
|
|
|
itself. Toolbars provide a quick means for adding tags into a document
|
|
|
|
|
without worry of mis-spellings and such.

Tag Folders are just that, folders. They are composed only of the
|
|
|
|
|
description.rc and TagXML files. Tag Folders carry the name of the mark-up
|
|
|
|
|
language and version, if applicable. (For example, html-4.01-strict)

The table below lists the elements defined in TagXML and declares whether

they are required or not. While not all are required, it is recommended
|
|
|
|

that you use as many as you can so that other users can have a better
|
|
|
|
|
experience and more information to work with.

The following will show you how to create toolbars for a &DTEP;. Toolbars
|
|
|
|
|
are graphical elements that are assigned to actions. Actions, in
|
|
|
|
|
&quantaplus;, are the basis for nearly all the extensions that
|
|
|
|
|
&quantaplus; has and will acquire in the future. The same mechanism that
|
|
|
|
|
defines an action in &quantaplus; also enables auto-completion and tag
|
|
|
|
|
dialogs. With actions, the limit of what you can do is virtually
|
|
|
|
|
limitless. For means of an example, we will use <ulink
|
|
|
|
|
url="http://tidy.sf.net">&HTML; tidy</ulink> on our web pages.

If there are many tags for the markup language, it is recommended that you
|
|
|
|

split up the tags into logical groups. You will need to create a new user
|
|
|
|
|
toolbar for each group. In this case, there are not many, so we will be
|
|
|
|
|
making one toolbar and naming it with the name of the markup.

Note how the separator helps in grouping. Someone new to my toolbar might

have thought that the &konqueror; button was like or the opposite of the

start button.

Remember to test your toolbar, by clicking all the buttons, so that you

|
|
|

know the output is correct.

Save it to the correct folder. Since NeXML does not exist, I will just
|
|
|
|
|
have it to the top-level folder, but your toolbar(s) should be saved to
|
|
|
|
|
the correct folder. Make sure to adjust your description.rc to have it
|
|
|
|
|
load your toolbar(s) when a new file of that type is created.

Probably the most notable additions to &quantaplus; for the general user
|
|
|
|
|
will be the addition of documentation for the markup or scripting language
|
|
|
|
|
that you like best. To that end, this chapter will explain how I create
|
|
|
|
|
the &PHP; documentation tree for my personal use.

Before starting on creating your own documentation, you may wish to check
|
|
|
|
|
out the <ulink url="http://quanta.sf.net/main1.php?contfile=resource">
|
|
|
|
|
&quantaplus; repository</ulink> to see if someone else has already done
|
|
|
|
|
this set.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
There are two parts to this process. First, you must obtain the existing
|
|
|
|
|
documentation for the markup/scripting/&etc; language that you are after.
|
|
|
|
|
Second, you have to create the <filename>docrc</filename> file. The first
|
|
|
|
|
is up to you, the second is what we will cover here.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
The general form of the docrc file is as follows:

The <filename>docrc</filename> is broken down into two sections: Tree and
|
|
|
|
|
Context.

</para>

The Tree section defines the presentation aspect of the documentation in
|
|
|
|
|
the documentation tab. For example, you will see that in the &PHP;
|
|
|
|
|
documentation you have something akin to this:
|
|
|
|
|

Relating this to the above, my &PHP; <filename>docrc</filename> looks like

Notice the <literal>#</literal> in front of <quote>Getting Started</quote>
|

and <quote>Language Reference</quote>. This indicates that these are sub
|
|
|
|
|
containers in the tree and have content of their own. I do not believe that
|
|
|
|
|
there is a set limit to the depth here (other than that driven by sanity)
|
|
|

— use your judgment.

For the Table of Contents, you will notice that it is referenced directly to
|
|
|
|
|
a file (and consequently shows up at the bottom of the tree view —
|
|
|
|
|
folders first!).

|
|
Spaces do not adversely affect anything, but watch out for & and <
|
|
|
|
|
characters. These should likely be replaced by &amp; and &lt;
|
|
|
|
|
respectively in all of the &XML; based &quantaplus; resource files.

The Context section is the section of the docrc file that is used to
|
|
|
|
|
facilitate context sensitive help. For example, you are writing a &PHP;
|
|
|
|
|
script and you would like to see the documentation for the
|
|
|
|
|
<function>mysql_fetch_array</function> function. You simply highlight the
|
|
|
|
|
function and then press <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>H</keycap>
|
|
|
|
|
</keycombo> for context help. The documentation on
|
|
|
|
|
<function>mysql_fetch_array</function> will immediately display. There are
|
|
|
|
|
only two entry types here: the ContextList and the file association lines.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>

<para>
|

Really simple, this is just a comma separated list of the context items
|
|
|
|
|
you wish to have available (for &PHP;, these are the functions for &PHP;).

|
|
|
or <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEDIR</envar>/share/apps/quatna/doc</filename>
|
|
|
|
|
for local or global use respectively. Then create a folder (the one
|
|
|
|
|
specified in your <filename>docrc</filename> file) in the same folder
|
|
|
|
|
as your <filename>docrc</filename> file and copy your &HTML; pages in
|
|
|
|
|
there.

You will need to restart &quantaplus; to see your documentation.

Once you are sure that they are good and worth sharing, send the <filename>

docrc</filename> file along with a description of any pertinent
|
|
|
|
|
information on what documentation you used to the

|
<ulink url="http://quanta.sf.net/main1.php?contfile=resource">&quantaplus;
|
