plovs reported a crash when templates were not installed properly,
with a non-useful error about the template object not being defined.
I've audited all uses of template_depends(), and template(), and it makes
sense for them to throw an error if the template cannot be found. All code
with a user-supplied template catches errors already, to handle template
parse failures.
It did not make sense for template_file to throw errors, as some code uses
it to probe if a template file is available.
This better defines what the filter hook is passed, to only be the raw,
complete text of a page. Not some snippet, or data read in from an
unrelated template.
Several plugins that filtered text that originates from an (already
filtered) page were modified not to do that. Note that this was not
done very consistently before; other plugins that receive text from a
page called preprocess on it w/o first calling filter.
The template plugin gets text from elsewhere, and was also changed not to
filter it. That leads to one known regression -- the embed plugin cannot
be used to embed stuff in templates now. But that plugin is deprecated
anyway.
Later we may want to increase the coverage of what is filtered. Perhaps
a good goal would be to allow writing a filter plugin that filters
out unwanted words, from any input. We're not there yet; not only
does the template plugin load unfiltered text from its templates now,
but so can the table plugin, and other plugins that use templates (like
inline!). I think we can cross that bridge when we come to it. If I wanted
such a censoring plugin, I'd probably make it use a sanitize hook instead,
for the better coverage.
For now I am concentrating on the needs of the two non-deprecated users
of filter. This should fix bugs/po_vs_templates, and it probably fixes
an obscure bug around txt's use of filter for robots.txt.
Consider a template like:
[[!template type=note text="""
[[!inline pages="*foo*"]]
"""]]
The text parameter is htmlized before being passed into the template (in
case the template wraps it in a <span> that prevents markdown from
htmlizing it later).
But, when markdown sees "*foo*", it turns that into <em>foo</em>.
Later, when preprocessing the inline directive, that leads to suprising
results.
To fix this, I made template parameters be preprocessed (and filtered)
before being htmlized.
Note that I left in the preprocessing (and filtering) of the template
output at the end. That's still relevant when the template itself contains
preprocessor directives.
This makes wikis such as zack's much faster in the scan pass.
In that pass, when a template contains an inline, there is no reason to
process the entire inline and all its pages. I'd forgotten to pass
along the flag to let preprocess() know it was in scan mode, leading to
much unncessary churning.
This is potentially expensive, but is necessary so that meta and tag
directives, and other links on templates affect the page using the template
reliably.
Because the search plugin needed it, also because it's one of the few
plugins that didn't already have it.
I also considered adding it to htmlize, but I really cannot imagine caring
what the destpage is when htmlizing. (I'll probably be poven wrong later.)
inserting them into the html template. This ensures that markdown
acts on them, even if the value is expanded inside a block-level html
element in the html template. Closes: #454058
* Use a div in the note template rather than a span.
for extended pagespecs. The old calling convention will still work for
back-compat for now.
* The calling convention for functions in the IkiWiki::PageSpec namespace
has changed so they are passed named parameters.
* Plugin interface version increased to 2.00 since I don't anticipate any
more interface changes before 2.0.
* chomp trailing newlines at the end of templates read in by the template
plugin, to allow use of the template preprocessor directive in
whitespace-sensative situations. Closes: #387073
- Plugins should not need to load IkiWiki::Render to get commonly
used functions, so moved some functions from there to IkiWiki.
- Picked out the set of functions and variables that most plugins
use, documented them, and made IkiWiki export them by default,
like a proper perl module should.
- Use the other functions at your own risk.
- This is not quite complete, I still have to decide whether to
export some other things.
* Changed all plugins included in ikiwiki to not use "IkiWiki::" when
referring to stuff now exported by the IkiWiki module.
* Anyone with a third-party ikiwiki plugin is strongly enrouraged
to make like changes to it and avoid use of non-exported symboles from
"IkiWiki::".
* Link debian/changelog and debian/news to NEWS and CHANGELOG.
* Support hyperestradier version 1.4.2, which adds a new required phraseform
setting.
text blocks, for easy nesting of quotes inside.
* Add a template plugin.
* Use the template plugin to add infoboxes to each plugin page listing basic
info about the plugin.
