Rote project — Todo list

Most of the following ideas will probably be implemented at some point. Send any suggestions or patches (preferably as/with tests) to:

  rosco <at> roscopeco <dot> co <dot> uk

For 0.3.x

• Plugins, maybe allow pseudo-sections to be created in COMMON.rb, that get their pages from some supplied code. Anything else then stays out of Rote, which is what‘s needed.
• Add ability to use external sources in syntax plugin, e.g. with a ‘source’ arg to macro.

For 0.3.x or 0.4

• Ability to have multiple views of a section, e.g. user guide (separate pages) and user guide (one page) generated from same source.
• Ability to have standard sets of files (chosen by glob) treated as sections and handled in some common way, e.g. apply a template and highlighting to a set of Ruby files to make a ‘source xref’ section with appropriate navigation and stuff.
• If layout isn‘t found with source ext, try with target ext too before failing.

For 1.0

• CSS / XML / etc, maybe with the existing builders (integrated with Format::CSS, Format::XML, so on)
• As much compatibility between Page and ActionController as poss, allowing ActionView helpers to be optionally mixed in.
