It would be nice for some plugins to use hashes as setup data structures
|
|
(which ones? pagespec aliases for one. Any others?), but these cannot
|
|
currently be adequately described in `getsetup()`, nor represented in
|
|
`websetup()`. It would be nice to extend ikiwiki to support this.
|
|
|
|
I've had an initial go at how to represent this in a nice way within a HTML
|
|
page. An initial mock up is available at
|
|
<https://github.com/jmtd/ikiwiki/blob/websetup_hashes/hash.html>. The
|
|
approach taken is to use a javascript hash/dictionary as the canonical copy of
|
|
the data; to express that in the form elements, and to capture all relevant
|
|
events to update the main data structure (and the HTML representations
|
|
thereof).
|
|
|
|
I imagine packing the js structure into a form element which is posted, and
|
|
ignoring the other form element data.
|
|
|
|
This would mean mandating javascript support for editing such hashes.
