=====Inline comment formatter=====
{{lastedit}}
<<See also: WantedFormatters<<
I've modified ##formatters/wakka.php## so as to recognize a new formatter for **inline comments**.
When adding inline comments, we used to adopt a combination of indents and ''note markup'', which produces hardly readable discussions and frequent inconsistencies.
==Syntax==
The new InlineCommentFormatter introduces a simple syntax, similar to that of unordered lists.
To produce an inline comment use **&** preceded by one or more **tabs** (or **~**).
To append a subcomment to an existing comment use the above syntax with an **extra tab** (or an extra **~**) - much as you append a subitem to an existing list item.
""~& Comment""
""~~& Subcomment""
""~~~& Subsubcomment""
gives:
~& Comment
~~& Subcomment
~~~& Subsubcomment
==Example==
__Note:__
To correctly display the following example you need to revert to the default wikka skin (TestSkin). Otherwise, you will just see an ordinary list.
Here's how it looks like:
~& This is the father of all comments -- DarTar
~~& Well, I don't agree with your point of view -- DarTar
~~~& Could you please explain why? -- DarTar
~~& I'm not sure I feel like giving any explanation -- DarTar
~~~& And I'm not sure I feel like listening to YOU -- DarTar
~& Well, it looks like we've found an agreement -- DarTar

=== Installation ===
(installé dans Wikka Wakka Wiki 1.1.6.0)
This formatter has been uploaded to this server as a beta feature. If you want to install it locally, follow these instructions:
==1. Modify ##formatters/wakka.php##==
You first need to modify the wakka formatter in three different places.
**A) original**
%%(php)
// indented text
elseif (preg_match("/\n([\t,~]+)(-|([0-9,a-z,A-Z,ÄÖÜ,ßäöü]+)\))?(\n|$)/s", $thing, $matches))
%%
**A) modified**
%%(php)
// indented text
elseif (preg_match("/\n([\t~]+)(-|&|([0-9a-zA-ZÄÖÜßäöü]+)\))?(\n|$)/s", $thing, $matches))
%%
**B) original**
%%(php)
elseif ($newIndentType == "-") { $opener = "<ul><li>"; $closer = "</li></ul>"; $li = 1; }
else { $opener = "<ol type=\"". substr($newIndentType, 0, 1)."\"><li>"; $closer = "</li></ol>"; $li = 1; }
%%
**B) modified**
%%(php)
elseif ($newIndentType == "-") { $opener = "<ul><li>"; $closer = "</li></ul>"; $li = 1; }
elseif ($newIndentType == "&") { $opener = "<ul class=\"thread\"><li>"; $closer = "</li></ul>"; $li = 1; } #inline comments
else { $opener = "<ol type=\"". substr($newIndentType, 0, 1)."\"><li>"; $closer = "</li></ol>"; $li = 1; }
%%
**C) original**
%%(php)
"======|=====|====|===|==|".
"\n([\t,~]+)(-|[0-9,a-z,A-Z]+\))?|".
"\{\{.*?\}\}|".
%%
**C) modified**
%%(php)
"======|=====|====|===|==|". # headings
"\n([\t~]+)(-|&|[0-9a-zA-Z]+\))?|". # indents and lists
"\{\{.*?\}\}|". # actions
%%
==2 Add a new class to your stylesheet (default: ##css/wikka.css##)==
%%(css)
ul.thread {
list-style-type: none;
border-left: 2px #666 solid;
padding-left: 10px;
margin: 5px 0px;
}
ul.thread li {
color: #333;
font-size: 11px;
}
%%
Suggestions for improving the inline comments style are welcome :)
----
=== Alternate styles ===
Here's a couple of ideas...
==1. thin borders==
%%(css)
ul.thread {
list-style-type: none;
border-left: 1px #666 solid;
padding: 0px 5px;
margin: 5px 0px;
}
ul.thread li {
color: #333;
font-size: 11px;
}
%%
gives
""<ul style='list-style-type: none;border-left: 1px #666 solid;padding: 0px 5px;margin: 5px 0px;'><li style='color: #333;font-size: 11px;'> Comment

==2. graded thick borders==
%%(css)
/* darker border for main comments */
ul.thread {
list-style-type: none;
border-left: 10px #BBB solid;
padding: 0px 5px;
margin: 5px 0px;
}
ul.thread li {
color: #333;
font-size: 11px;
}
/* lighter border for subcomments, subsubcomments etc. */
li ul.thread {
border-left: 10px #DDD solid;
}
%%
gives
