If you've ever used an IDE for a programming language that gives you a list of methods or variable names as you type… this is going to be the same thing for Wikidot, although it won't be done automatically as you type (through menus and buttons instead) And that's why it's called "STE" … you're not meant to expand it and call it "shane's text editor wikidot editor" XD Just call it "STE" or "STE wikidot editor"… So, can anyone here think of any other reasons to use STE?

(Edit, Permalink) STE doesn't have the restriction of being in a web page… it can expand to the full height and width of my monitor (minus space taken up by the toolbar and menu) and is perfect for seeing as much code as possible! :) Included page "inc:signature" does not exist (create it now) |

Of course, you could let the user add pre-customized blocks to the "Modules" menu; and ditto for the toolbar. Anyway: watching the site for updates.

Because they added the page.save method, meaning you can create Wikidot pages now. That means that you can point STE to a backup folder, and tell it the site name, and it can automatically create the pages for you! Well… not yet. I'd have to figure out how to make it do that first ;-) It's possible though, and that's the main thing!

Any 'preview' mode I create will most likely convert the syntax into Rich Text and show what that looks like - it won't generate HTML. At least, that seems the easiest way to do it. I can't think of a reason for needing to generate HTML anyway - especially considering all modules would be useless in that situation. Could I ask you, why would an offline compiler be useful? Maybe I haven't thought about that enough… The main feature so far that you can't get anywhere else is the ability to save your partially-created page on your computer, and resume editing later. Apart from that there's nothing else you won't already find online — yet. Franknarf wrote: That's a great idea! Could you create a new thread in the suggestions forum for this?

I was just asking to clarify the motivation/direction of the project (fitting in with the subject of the thread). If it compiled to HTML files in the same folder, and somehow the modules worked when compiling, and the links worked between the HTML files, then that would make Wikidot portable, like a substitute for Tiddlywiki (which I no longer use). But again, that would be more cool than useful…and really difficult, I imagine. leiger wrote: Ok. I expanded on it a little. Included page "inc:signature" does not exist (create it now) |
