Hi Taco,

2020-10-16
  
I am a long-time LaTeX user, and I have been learning ConTeXt over the past several months. As I figure things out about ConTeXt, I am happy to edit the Wiki to help others figure them out too.
+
Okay, I have now updated https://wiki.contextgarden.net/How_to_make_a_MyWay (and made minor changes to              https://wiki.contextgarden.net/This_Way_-_My_Way#MyWay to reflect those updates). If you have any corrections or suggestions on what I have done, please just let me know. I'm eager to learn!
  
I thought a good place to start editing the Wiki would be on the pages explaining how to write a My Way article. (Both https://wiki.contextgarden.net/This_Way_-_My_Way#MyWay and https://wiki.contextgarden.net/How_to_make_a_MyWay.) By looking at the source code for a recent This Way article by Hans Hagen, I have come to the conclusion that setting up a My Way article is much simpler than what is currently described on the Wiki. (And what is described on the Wiki, as far as I can tell, doesn't work.) I'd be happy to edit the Wiki article on writing My Way articles, but since this is my first time editing the Wiki, I'd like it if someone could check that I haven't done something horribly wrong (either by saying something incorrect, or deleting something that needed to be kept, etc.).
+
And after that, I will feel more comfortable making Wiki edits myself, and I'll be glad to help with such things as I continue to learn more about ConTeXt.
  
If I make some changes to the "How to write a My Way article" pages, would you or one of the administrators be willing to look at the changes and let me know if I am doing things right?
+
I do have a few quick followup questions though: If I write a My Way article, how do I “submit” it? Do I just go edit the Wiki and put it among the list of My Way articles? Or do I send it to someone for “review”? Or is there some other process?
  
I'm new, but I can learn. I really like ConTeXt and would be happy to help continue to improve its documentation as I become more familiar with it.
+
If I can get these questions answered, I'll put the answers in the How to Make A MyWay Wiki, and then hopefully that will make the process of writing My Way articles simpler all around. (And also I'm thinking of writing a My Way article myself.)

Revision as of 17:02, 16 October 2020

Todo for xml interface 'ConTeXtXML' extension:

  • (maybe) export to 100% correct xml, expanding wikicodes also, and fixing CDATA
  • ongoing from then on: existing page merging (jikes!)
  • combine the current 'context' extension with the new 'ConTeXtXML' extension
  • add a ‘first documented on’ attribute to cd:command

Problems that remain unfixed for now:

  • the "redirected from ..." message is not displayed. I seem unable to make it reappear in 1.34 because of the CmdPage inheriting from WikiPage but the redirect creating a hardcoded WikiPage object. I will retry when MW 1.35 is officially released.

Todo for sourcebrowser:

  • Search option to search only file names
  • Fix scroll for navigation pane
  • Add a 'search context' (stay in current file while doing a followup)
  • Add a link back to top of page that always stays in view
  • (maybe) rewrite/extend scite lexers and/or put the indices in the ConTeXt distribution ?

And after that, I will feel more comfortable making Wiki edits myself, and I'll be glad to help with such things as I continue to learn more about ConTeXt.

I do have a few quick followup questions though: If I write a My Way article, how do I “submit” it? Do I just go edit the Wiki and put it among the list of My Way articles? Or do I send it to someone for “review”? Or is there some other process?

If I can get these questions answered, I'll put the answers in the How to Make A MyWay Wiki, and then hopefully that will make the process of writing My Way articles simpler all around. (And also I'm thinking of writing a My Way article myself.)
