We released HiperDom 0.1 Saturday (this message is dated Monday because it's when the objects got cataloged). This version is Python-based, fully functional to the last letter of the spec (except for hdom:method where we cleaned up the interface a bit), fully HelpSys'ed, heck, it even has an icon. Oh, it has an undocumented feature too. Actually lots of 'em; I have to write about manage_getTemplate somewhere for the next version... but what I'm talking about right now is the hdom:id directive used for creating "assets" like we discussed previously in the "HiperDOM and xmlc" thread. When you expand a section marked with hdom:text, before discarding the contents, the engine hunts for elements marked with hdom:id in it. Those found are added to the namespace. ... <p hdom:text="greeting">This paragraph will be replaced by a greeting to <span hdom:id="person">Lalo</span> and <span hdom:id="company">Hiperlógica</span>.</p> ... The method "greeting" will be executed with a namespace as **kw (I don't know how flexible is this, but it's how DTML does it). In this namespace there will be at least {'person': '<span>Lalo</span>', 'company': '<span>Hiperlógica</span>'}. This feature isn't documented on purpose, since this subject is far from settled and it is very possible that this isn't the best sollution. But it's _a_ sollution and it's there to be tested - "running code" :-) We'll be away from this code for about two weeks, as we have an urgent job to deliver to a big customer whose identity is so ironic that I'll have to tell you folks as soon as I'm sure I'm allowed to. Anyway, I'd like everyone interested to try it out in this meantime, send us your feedback, and discuss it here and/or on the HiperDomWiki. I'll have an eye (and a few fingers) on this discussion. Thank you for your time, have a nice day. :-) []s, |alo +---- -- Hack and Roll ( http://www.hackandroll.org ) News for, uh, whatever it is that we are. http://zope.gf.com.br/lalo mailto:lalo@hackandroll.org pgp key: http://zope.gf.com.br/lalo/pessoal/pgp Brazil of Darkness (RPG) --- http://zope.gf.com.br/BroDar
