[SURVEY] Pillar input/output files.
 
|
Hi,
I'm currently working on the way we manage the input files and the output files. The way we manage the files now makes hard some improvement of Pillar. That's why with Damien we though about makes some changes. The changes are big so I wanted to talk about that with you. We propose to have always 1 file with all the work inside. That can use the inputFile tag. For example: "${inputFile:Chapter1.pillar}$ ${inputFile:Chapter2.pillar}$ ${inputFile:Chapter3.pillar}$ ${inputFile:Chapter4.pillar}$" And the option "separateOutputFiles" will now create 1 file each time we have a new Chapter. (!Level 1 header). That will make simpler the way to number everything and to create anchor because those 2 doesn't work well with the "separateOutputFile" option. What do you thing? That would be good with you? -- Cheers Cyril Ferlicot |

That would be good with you? this change proposes to remove the option inputFiles from Pillar. Pillar will now take only 1 Pillar input file that must include the rest. This will simplify pillar.conf, this will simplify compile.sh, this will make it easier for the author to understand the process, and this will simplify Pillar's implementation. With this in place, we think we can fix the problems with anchors and inter-chapter links. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill |

If I understand correctly... then, why the pillar.conf is not just a pillar file? (And the conf is the header if the file?) :) El lun., 4 de may. de 2015 a la(s) 2:50 p. m., Damien Cassou <[hidden email]> escribió:

Well, I'm using pillar for static web page generation. In such case, I don't need a main document. What would be, more specifically, the impact over me? I know that - I will have to move my input files inside a mysite.pillar and... what else? El lun., 4 de may. de 2015 a la(s) 3:23 p. m., Ben Coman <[hidden email]> escribió:

(And the conf is the header if the file?) :) my middle-term goal is to simplify/remove as much as possible both the pillar.conf and compile.sh scripts. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill |

Hi Cyril,
It does not look that different. Something I may recommend, is that Pillar should be effective at writing other things than a book. So, the chapter decomposition should not be forced. Cheers, Alexandre

Hi,
I think we'll be able to avoid what i've expose on the first message. I changed the way Pillar parsed the files so it's not easier to create a global numerator or inter file links. When i'll have something that work i'll do a new configuration a post a message on the ML.
