Hello everyone,
I want to extend RedCloth so my Faculty may use Instiki with the
modified RedCloth plugin, for lab exercises.
I thought I might use the RedCloth parser and identify new keywords like
#!show_sol, #!hide_sol, #solution to permit administrators (professors,
assistants) to hide the solutions for the lab exercises when students
have to solve them and after that to show the solutions.
Using a wiki for labs has lots of advantages and this is why we decided
to extend an existent syntax (textile).
Can you please give me some tips for this task?
* Is it the right approach extending RedCloth?
* I browsed the source but couldn''t find the file I should alter (I am
Ruby newbie).
* How do you find the keywords?
Example:
#!hide_sol
...
# Use the `grep'' command to output the lines containing smth in
file.txt
#!solution{
cat file.txt | grep "smth"
}
...
and after the lab:
#!show_sol
...
# Use the `grep'' command to output the lines containing smth in
file.txt
#!solution{
cat file.txt | grep "smth"
}
...
Thank you in advance,
Tibi
Hi, Tibi. Sorry I haven''t responded in so long. Things are quite busy at work right now. I suggest you don''t extend RedCloth but rather that you filter that text before passing it to RedCloth. Just a couple regular expressions in Ruby could handle it much better than RedCloth and at very low expense. Best wishes!

Can you give me some tips? :D Thanks, Tibi> > > On Sep 9, 2008, at 3:22 PM, Tibi Turbureanu wrote: > > > Hello everyone, > > > > I want to extend RedCloth so my Faculty may use Instiki with the > > modified RedCloth plugin, for lab exercises. > > > > I thought I might use the RedCloth parser and identify new keywords > > like > > #!show_sol, #!hide_sol, #solution to permit administrators > > (professors, > > assistants) to hide the solutions for the lab exercises when students > > have to solve them and after that to show the solutions. > > > > Using a wiki for labs has lots of advantages and this is why we > > decided > > to extend an existent syntax (textile). > > > > Can you please give me some tips for this task? > > * Is it the right approach extending RedCloth? > > * I browsed the source but couldn''t find the file I should alter (I am > > Ruby newbie). > > * How do you find the keywords? > > > > Example: > > > > #!hide_sol > > ... > > # Use the `grep'' command to output the lines containing smth in > > file.txt > > #!solution{ > > cat file.txt | grep "smth" > > } > > ... > > > > and after the lab: > > > > #!show_sol > > ... > > # Use the `grep'' command to output the lines containing smth in > > file.txt > > #!solution{ > > cat file.txt | grep "smth" > > } > > ... > > > > Thank you in advance, > > Tibi > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Redcloth-upwards mailing list > > Redcloth-upwards at rubyforge.org > > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/redcloth-upwards > > _______________________________________________ > Redcloth-upwards mailing list > Redcloth-upwards at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/redcloth-upwards-------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I did have a page that explained how to do this, but damn server is down (friend''s server, I planned to move away from it tbh).> I tried but can''t find where in the source code is the part Instiki > sends the wiki page to RedCloth parser. Can you give me some tips? :Dgrep is your friend here. From the Instiki source, I suggest: grep -rn ''Redcloth'' . If there is .svn files about, you can make this: grep -rn ''Redcloth'' . | svn -v svn see as the pesky SVN files always get in the way.> Thanks, > Tibi > > > > > > On Sep 9, 2008, at 3:22 PM, Tibi Turbureanu wrote: > > > > > Hello everyone, > > > > > > I want to extend RedCloth so my Faculty may use Instiki with the > > > modified RedCloth plugin, for lab exercises. > > > > > > I thought I might use the RedCloth parser and identify new keywords > > > like > > > #!show_sol, #!hide_sol, #solution to permit administrators > > > (professors, > > > assistants) to hide the solutions for the lab exercises when students > > > have to solve them and after that to show the solutions. > > > > > > Using a wiki for labs has lots of advantages and this is why we > > > decided > > > to extend an existent syntax (textile). > > > > > > Can you please give me some tips for this task? > > > * Is it the right approach extending RedCloth? > > > * I browsed the source but couldn''t find the file I should alter (I am > > > Ruby newbie). > > > * How do you find the keywords? > > > > > > Example: > > > > > > #!hide_sol > > > ... > > > # Use the `grep'' command to output the lines containing smth in > > > file.txt > > > #!solution{ > > > cat file.txt | grep "smth" > > > } > > > ... > > > > > > and after the lab: > > > > > > #!show_sol > > > ... > > > # Use the `grep'' command to output the lines containing smth in > > > file.txt > > > #!solution{ > > > cat file.txt | grep "smth" > > > } > > > ... > > > > > > Thank you in advance, > > > Tibi > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > Redcloth-upwards mailing list > > > Redcloth-upwards at rubyforge.org > > > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/redcloth-upwards > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Redcloth-upwards mailing list > > Redcloth-upwards at rubyforge.org > > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/redcloth-upwards > _______________________________________________ > Redcloth-upwards mailing list > Redcloth-upwards at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/redcloth-upwards
