<title>Document Type Editing Package (&DTEP;)</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
&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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.

<para>
|
|
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.

|
|
where the toolbars for this DTEP are.
|
|
Names = The list of toolbar file names, minus the .toolbar.tgz extension, that
|
|
are loaded for this DTEP from the above folder.
|
|
|
|
[Extra rules] - Some rules not fitted in other places.
|
|
BooleanAttributes = (simple|complex)
|
|
Example for simple: <tag booleanAttr>.
|
|
Example for complex: <tag booleanAttr="1"> or <tag booleanAttr="true">
|
|
StructGroupsCount = The number of structure groups. See below.
|
|
MinusAllowedInWords = If true "this-is-a-word" is treated like a word. Otherwise,
|
|
it is treated like 4 words.
|
|
TagAutoCompleteAfter = CHAR. The auto-completion box is brought up automatically
|
|
once this CHAR is entered or SPACE is pressed after this CHAR. For DTEP family 1,
|
|
it is usually "<" The text "none" instead of a CHAR specifies that the tag
|
|
completion box should not be brought up automatically, only if the user requests it.
|
|
AttributeSeparator = CHAR. This CHAR means that the attribute name has ended.
|
|
It is " for XML DTEPs.
|
|
TagSeparator = CHAR. Similar to the above.
|
|
AttributeAutoCompletionAfter = CHAR. Similar to the TagAutoCompletionAfter, but
|
|
for tag attributes. It is "(" by default and ":" for CSS.
|
|
|
|
[StructGroup_1] - Definition of structure group 1.
|
|
Name = The text that appears if there are tags matching this group settings.
|
|
No_Name = The text that appears if there are NO tags matching this group settings.
|
|
Icon = The name of the icon appearing before the above texts.
|
|
Tag = tagname(attribute1, attribute2, ...). Tags with name tagname will appear
|
|
under this group. The item text will be "attribute1_value | attribute2_value | ..."
|
|
Currently only one tag may be listed here.
|
|
HasFileName = (true|false) True, if the item text (above attribute values) contains a file name.
|
|
FileNameRx = Regular expression used to remove the unnecessary chars from the item text.
|
|
SearchRx = regular expression used to find text areas in the Family 2 DTEP, which
|
|
will belong to this group
|
|
ClearRx = regular expression used to clear unwanted text/chars from the above
|
|
search result. The cleaned string will appear in the structure tree.
|
|
|
|
[Parsing rules] - Rules used when parsing the document.
|
|
SpecialAreas = The beginning and ending string of special areas, separated by a comma.
|
|
Special areas are not parsed according to this DTEP's rules, but as their own rules.
|
|
A special area can be a DTEP of another family, a comment, or something to that effect.
|
|
Eg. <!-- -->
|
|
SpecialAreaNames = Comma separated list of the above special area names. Eg. comment
|
|
SpecialTags = tagname(attributename) - Specifies a tag which defines the start of a special area.
|
|
AreaBorders = Comma separated list of the area borders encapsulating this Family 2 DTEP. In the
|
|
case of PHP, it is: <? ?>, <* *>, <% %>
|
|
Tags = tagname(attribute). If the parent(real) DTD has a tag with tagname and
|
|
the attribute value of this tag is equal with the DTD name, the tag area
|
|
is parsed according to the rules of this DTD.
|
|
Comments = comma separated list of area borders for comments. EOL means end-of-line.
|
|
Eg: // EOL, /* */
|
|
StructKeywords = Semicolon separated list of structure keywords. Structures are treated
|
|
as new nodes in the structure tree.
|
|
StructBeginStr = A string specifying the beginning of a structure (like {)
|
|
StructEndStr = A string specifying the beginning of a structure (like })
|
|
StructRx = Regular expression containing the beginning or the end of the structure
|
|
area. Eg. \\{ | \\} (structure area border can be { or })

<para>
|
|
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.

To begin, you will need to create a user toolbar. Select

<guimenu>Toolbars</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Add User Toolbar</guimenuitem>
|

</menuchoice>.

<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>

Once all your toolbars are created, you must add and configure the
|
|
actions. To do this, select

<guimenu>Settings</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Configure Actions</guimenuitem>

Egad! That's an awful icon. How will yourself and others remember that
|
|
icon goes with that action? Let's replace it before trouble arises.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To create an icon that more accurately describes that action, we will be
|
|
using &kiconedit;. Select it from the &menuk;, <menuchoice>
|
|
<guisubmenu>Graphics</guisubmenu>
|
|
<guisubmenu>More Programs</guisubmenu>
|
|
</menuchoice> (or where ever your distribution placed it).
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|

&kiconedit; defaults to the size 32x32 pixels, but we need 22x22. To
|
|
change this, select
|
|
<menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>Edit</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Resize</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|

Keep in mind that you are creating an icon that will assist in helping not
|
|
only yourself to remember which action does what, but also other users of
|
|
the &DTEP;.

Since the tag I am creating the icon for is called <quote>start,</quote>

I have decided to create a <quote>Start sign.</quote> Using the color green
|
|
(green often interpreted as <quote>go,</quote> <quote>start,</quote> or
|
|
<quote>proceed</quote>) will, or, at least, should, convey a message
|
|
to the user that clicking this action will place the <start> tag in the

current document.

Once you are done with creating the icon(s), you must associate the icon

<menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Configure Actions</guimenuitem>
|

</menuchoice> again (in &quantaplus;) and select the action you made

Let us say you would like to add some common &quantaplus; functions to your

|
toolbar or maybe you think the toolbar would be better off organized in a
|
|
different manner with some separators to group the actions. Open the
|

<guilabel>Configure Toolbars</guilabel> dialog by going
|
|
<menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu>
|

<para>
|
|
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.

<title>Creating Your Own Documentation</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
<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:
|
|
</para>
|

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

this:

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

there is a set limit to the depth here (other than that driven by sanity)
|
|
— use your judgment.
|

</para>
|
|
|

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 —

<para>
|
|
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>

<variablelist>
|
|
<varlistentry>
|
|
<term>ContextList</term>

you wish to have available (for &PHP;, these are the functions for &PHP;).

|
for local or global use respectively. Then create a folder (the one
