[pmwiki-devel] What is <:vspace>?

[Simon]

I'm writing a recipe to simply show what pasted content looks like in a PmWiki page.

It dumps everything between the start and end of the markup as determined by the Markup function in hex and ascii

e.g.

(:simplerecipetemplate:) Multiple lines of tēxt. (:simplerecipetemplateend:)

01: | 02: 4d75 6c74 6970 6c65 206c 696e | Multiple·lin 02: 6573 206f 66 | es·of 03: 3c3a 7673 7061 6365 3e | <:vspace> 04: 7426 2332 3735 3b78 742e | t&#275;xt. 05: |

What I'd like to know is what is <:vspace> and where does it come from?

The documentation seems silent on this.

I'd prefer it was not added when there is a blank line?

thanks

Simon

There's a little information on <:vspace> at https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/LayoutVariables#HTMLVSpace , including how to disable it.

A Google search for "pmwiki vspace" will uncover a variety of posts about what <:vspace> is and why it exists.

Thanks heaps PM,

I must admit I only searched for "<:vspace">"

I do understand the use of (<p class='vspace'></p>),
for web page layout.

What I don't understand is why the Markup function returns the literal "<:vspace>"

instead of a blank line in the case of the text contained between the directive start and directive end markup

$markup_pattern = "/\\(:"
      . 'SimpleRecipeTemplate' . "\s*(?:" . $qpattern . ")\s*:\\)"
      . "(.*?)"
      . "\\(:"
      . 'SimpleRecipeTemplateNameend' . "\s*"
      . ":\\)/sim";
##
    Markup("SimpleRecipeTemplate",
      'fulltext', 
      $markup_pattern, 
      "SimpleRecipeTemplate_Parse" );

And how I stop it inserting this unexpected and unwanted literal.

PmWiki | PmWiki / CustomMarkup is silent on the insertion of <:vspace> into the "match"

thanks again

It is not only "<:vspace">", it also encodes &, <, > into their HTML
entities. MarlupToHTML does this first thing when text is passed to it
(as does HandleBrowse).

You can search for "vspace" in the mailing list archive here:

https://www.pmwiki.org/search-ml.php?split=v

Your function SimpleRecipeTemplate_Parse can do a search and replace for
these strings:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

Note that you've positioning the markup in "fulltext", that's after some
markup would have been processed, notably escaped text, page variables,
$[i18n] strings, and markup expressions. If you want the literal text
between your 2 directives, you should position it earlier, say, after
'[='. To see the order of the rules, try

$EnableDiag=1;

and visit your pmwiki.php?action=ruleset
