Easier Template Tags: Status Update 9
Keith Bowes
could convert it to easier tags easily, but converting it back was a
chore. So, I just commented out those parts of the code, committed it,
and wrote a status report (not even mentioning it).
This week, I tried to think out how to do it, to no avail. That is,
until Thursday evening, when I had a breakthrough: instead of using
attributes, I'll use tag content. So, I quickly implemented <$EntryTime
$> (without attributes or content; it'll just take the format from the
options, right?, so what's the point?). I later also implemented
<EntryCategory>, the content of which is the separator character.
Most of my coding, however, was bug fixes, again.
But not all of my problems this week were caused by the primitive
parsing method I'm forced to use now. Another problem was I had svn
errors that I had to repair. svn error messages aren't as unhelpful as
PHP's, but they could still be a lot more helpful.
I didn't get too much done this week: just bug fixing and two new
tags. But in the process, I did some rethinking about how to implement
this thing. So, next week, I'd like to try to continue along this path
(and hopefully not run into any more major snags), implement more
tags, and maybe clean up and generalize the code a bit.
I'll give another status report next week. Same bat time, same bat
channel.
