History

Jan 04. 2008

Build: 1.0 - 20080104

Introducing PI's: demoref. This makes it possible to produce refrences that look different on screen than on paper.

Introducing attribute book in page-elements in the script. May be used in PI-collect and may be used by other programs to collect pages and pageinformation from a WXT-script. Available as property "_book".

Introducing attribute pubaddress in group-elements in the script. Available as property "_pubaddress".

Nov 22. 2007

Build: 1.0 - 20071122

Introducing PI's: ref and reflist. This makes it possible to collect and display references of any type in a simple way. It also facilitates a crude footnote-implementation.

Note that PI xref is also updated with an attribute, listname, which makes it possible to include crossrefrences in reference lists.

Sept 9. 2007

Build: 1.0 - 20070909

Fixing addressing problem for popup pages.

June 25. 2007

Build: 1.0 - 20070625

Introducing flexible expand/noexpand control of AJAX-requests.

Involves script option: expand_all and attribute expand on PIs: request and import-text.

May 22. 2007

Build: 1.0 - 20070522

Correcting pagecollection in PI collect

May 19. 2007

Build: 1.0 - 20070519

Minor updates of help files

Dec. 29. 2006

Build: 1.0 - 20061229

HTTPRequest included:
PI:request for simple fileaccess, see Request
PI:import-text for more sophisticated datapreparation, see TextImport
See also Ajax

Oct. 22. 2006

Build: 1.0 - 20061022

Minor corrections in codeformatting.
Added attribute replace in text import

Oct. 11. 2006

Build: 1.0 - 20061011

Minor corrections in codeformatting.
Selective text import from a candidate list is possible.

Sept. 04. 2006

Build: 1.0 - 20060904

Minor corrections.
References to page-fragments are simplified in form.
Pagedescritions are included as "title"-attributes in indextables.

July. 15. 2006

Build: 1.0 - 20060715

The property element in the script is changed. You may now use an attribute location to identify a property. The content is supposed to be a wellformed XML-fragment (no XML-header and no property tag). The location should be absolute or relative to the script.

The value-attribute is deprecated.

June. 06. 2006

Build: 1.0 - 20060606

Databaseaccess is changed. It is no longer legal to specify databaseaccess directly in the script. You must wrap the databaseaccess in a normal contentpage by a processing instruction.

One features introduced, see WXT-help:

  • daydiff - You may now calculate and display the difference between two dates. Accessible as a processing instruction.
Jan. 08. 2006

Build: 1.0 - 20060108

Refactoring of addresscalculation. A more robust solution for Linux.

Two features introduced, see WXT-help:

  • pathfragment - You may now define fragments of paths and use these in the script.
  • backup - content, textcontent, template and transformation elements ha an attribute backup which will be used if regular location is unavailabe.
Nov. 21. 2005

Build: 1.0 - 20051120

Added possibility for bootstrapping. That is a script may contain a bootstrap-element that instructs WXT to parse and build an other script in background. Faster than using external command.
<bootstrap location="myfile.xml"/>

Sequence is changed. Pages are now built before commands, which in turn are executed before bootstraps. You may as before change the sequence by using groups.

See WXT-help or The Script
