PRE-WIP: ways to link to a section in the manual via [pdcontrol] #191

seems nice, I needed it for 2 cases I remember now |
|
maybe 3... I know I can find more if this is possible :) 1 case would be enough to grant this. Let's do it |
|
starting a PR now |

PR done via pure-data/pure-data#2235 |

It seems like the more robust way to do this would be to just have a version of the manual which is a pd patch, the few images in the manual which are not just screenshots of patches should be able to be worked around easily enough and a script would be able to convert the manual to a patch once the screen shot patches have been converted if they are not still available. I would be willing to put in the time to repatch what needs to be repatched if someone else handles the script. Or is there something I am missing? Seems too obvious of a solution to not have been done. |

it's not about referring to a patch in the manual, but referring to bits of text in subsections of the manual |
alternatively, we could just create the actual redirecting file on-the-fly with it requires a single abstraction, rather than manually maintained redirect-files. |
|
very nice but "white space" in path should be handled
EDIT: |
cool!
not sure if that would be @umlaeute's way to go - but here, i added a mechanism to check all chars and replace whitespaces (and remove escaping backslashes). seems to work for me. not sure if other cases would need to be considered, too? makeredirect_replace_whitespace.zip EDIT: updated file (removed debugging [print] in patch that i had inserted) |
works for me on Windows. |
as seen in pure-data/pure-data#2231 anchors get ignored when using [pdcontrol].
There is a cross-platform hack to make this happen but:
is hard to maintain if we abuse the number sections we want to link from Pd.
is a bit ugly in general but is rock solid (if we want the feature, this is it)
it works like:
we add a folder with a shortname ala
doc/1.manual/pdanchorsthere we have
template.htmlwith this content:we make a copy of the template, then we edit the
url=and we save it with a nice-name.htmlthen in Pd we do (from reference folder patches):
