XSF Discussion - 2018-07-30

is there a way to fix the XML indentation in the XEP examples ? it's all broken in many XEPs

https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0409.html for example

edhelas: define "broken"

`<span class="pln">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </span>`

it seems like the indentation is part of the original xml, just with 0x20 and not with nbsp.

edhelas, that is caused by the author not moving the example stanza to the front of the line in the XML: https://github.com/xsf/xeps/blob/master/xep-0409.xml#L83

feel free to submit a PR

I'm wondering if we could add a linter

edhelas, I have a linter work-in-progress

I should probably put it somewhere on the internet

maybe someone is motivated to work on this, I’m EBUSY currently https://github.com/horazont/xeplint

Wait what, <items node='.' max_items='1'/>

Never seen that before

Says who?

Also the XEP

edhelas, it does trigger my OCD, but so far I haven’t been able to do enough introspection in XSLT to reach what I’d like, which is a new <xml-example/> tag which would contain XML in it, not as CDATA but as normal XML, to benefit from all of the checking our parsers already do.

send PRs that move every example block to the left?

I do that whenever I encounter one, but it’d be much better to have that as part of our tooling instead.

I'm much less of an XSLT fan these days

The other benefit would be to be able to do syntax highlighting without depending on JS.

Link Mauve: How? Just for XML you mean? Many of our examples are pseudo-XML, not valid XML.

Oh?

Do you mean the ones with CLIENT: and such?

Maybe allow for the examples to be parsed as xml, add an attribute or something on the tag
