JS-Macro to transclude the input of a field with regex-replacements.

[Jan]

Hello 
based on an idea of LinOneTwo I tried to build a macro to do replacements while transcluding the text-content of a field.
This macro shall replace all "/n[[" for "/n/n:[[" and shall be applied to a a field called dialogue.
This is one step to build a scene-editor which can properly format dialogue.
Unfortunately it does not show the result when calling it <$macrocall $name="dialogue" text={{!!dialogue}}/> but produces a tender red alert.
How do you do something like this correctly?

(The code can be tested on http://szen.io/dia/ )

Thanks for help!
Jan

(function(){
   /*jslint node: true, browser: true */
   /*global $tw: false */
   "use strict";

/*

  exports.name = 'dialogue';
  exports.params = [{ name: 'text', defalue: '' }];
/*
Run the macro
*/
(function() {
  exports.run = function(text) {
    return text
      .split("/n[[")
      .filter(it => it)
      .join("/n/n:[[");
  };
})();

You seem to have wrapped the function in another function. This seems to "work"

/*\
title: $:/core/modules/macros/Dialogue.js
type: application/javascript
module-type: macro
Making some replacements in Textinputs
\*/

(function(){
   /*jslint node: true, browser: true */
   /*global $tw: false */
   "use strict";

/*
Information about this macro
*/
  exports.name = 'dialogue';

  exports.params = [{ name: 'text'  }];

/*
Run the macro
*/

  exports.run = function(text) {
    return  text
      .split("/n[[")
      .filter(it => it)
      .join("/n/n:[[");

 } ;

})();

By "work" I mean it runs without an error. But I'm not sure it does what you want yet. Good luck!

Hi Mark,
you are right in both dimensions: It does not throw the error-alert anymore...but it apparently does nothing else either.
It should turn a link (containing the name of the role) at the beinning of the Line in editmode into a descriptive list
 <dt>[[Rolename]]</dt> which in Wikisyntax can be indicatet by /n/n:[[Rolename]].

Sorry for the difficulites to express this correctly.
I fear that this markup is already parsed when inserting the text with  {{!!dialogue}}-field so that it actually does not find any /n or[[.

Thanks!

Ah, there we go. it's "\n" not "/n".

There are other tweaks. I think the \n on the first [[ might be getting trimmed off.

Good luck!

Hi Mark!
Thanks, the desired colons :-) now are there!  But all \n seem to be eaten, even the double \n\n which should make a linebreak.

You can see the test here http://szen.io/dia/  which I hope can explain a little what I am trying to achive.

I changed it the function to

  exports.run = function(text) {
    return  text
      .split("\n[[")
      .join("\n:[[");
    return  text
      .split("\n")
      .join("\n\n");
 } ;

because I would like all \newlines to be doublenewlines to make the markup like !/*/# work at the beginning of all lines.

Thanks again!
Jan

Hi Jan,

for this to work you need double lines before and after the macro:

<div class=dialogue>

<$macrocall $name="dialogue" text={{!!dialogue}}/>

</div>

and I think you return value needs to be like this:

exports.run = function(text) { 
      text = text.split("\n[[").join("\n:[["); 
      return text.split("\n").join("\n\n"); 
} ;

[Jan]

Hi BJ! Hi Mark!
What a difference two breaks make! Great thanks, I would never have found that trick! I think the rest now is getting the CSS right!
I will have to do some work until I can show the Editor I need this for.

Best wishes Jan
