New modifiers for template designers

[Bruno Postle-2]

MKDoc 1.6 CVS now has some new Petal modifiers to allow template
designers more freedom when displaying text.

The new modifiers use the same MKDoc::Text::Structured backend as
the Text Component.  This means that plain text strings can now be
displayed in a variety of ways:

The as_html_entities: modifier will add smartquotes and convert
simple ascii constructs such as (c) to their rich text equivalents.

  <title petal:content="structure as_html_entities: title">Document Title</title>

The as_html_inline: modifier will do the same, but will also add
inline tags such as strong or abbr.

  <h1 petal:content="structure as_html_inline: title">Document Title</h1>

The as_html_blocks: modifier will do the same, but will add block
level structures such as paragraph tags, lists etc...

  <div petal:content="structure as_html_blocks: description">Document Description</div>

For full documentation of MKDoc::Text::Structured, see:

I think it makes sense to use this for the Rights, Publisher and
Description metadata when it appears on a page. Will this also turn URIs
into links and if not could this be an option?

Yes the "as_html_inline:" and "as_html_blocks:" modifiers should
linkify URIs.

Basically "as_html_blocks:" does exactly the same conversion as the
Text Component.

Hi

I have added the "structure as_html_inline:" modifier to the footnote
fragment and print template for the Publisher and Rights metadata
fields in MKDoc 1.6.

And I have added the "structure as_html_blocks:" modifier to the
Description field for the headlines component, the child listing
templates, the sitemap and the search results page.

I though about using a modifier for descriptions from RSS imports but I
think this is perhaps best done as a customisation as needs be for sites
since that want it because it's probably only going to be RSS feeds from
other MKDoc sites that will have descriptions that have been marked up
with MKDoc structured text...

Are there any places I have missed that should also use these modifiers?
