[Pharo-project] WebDoc, SimpleWebDoc and Pharo website

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi guys. One of the things I hate most is when there is a cool tool/documentation available and we don't spread it. I know Laurent did SimpleWebDoc a couple of months ago. Then Camillo did it again...and call it WebDoc. But...still, from the user point of view, there is nothing. You go to the Pharo website, and there is nothing. The webdoc is not hosted (seaside hosting is too slow). So... my question is....can we put WebDoc o SimpleWebDoc somewhere (for example in the same host where Pharo website runs) so that it is accessible? then we should link to it from different places in the phaor website. Don't tell me it is not ready. It doesn't need to be perfect (I don't care for the moment if there is no serach or if it is slow), we can already start to work: 1) Define where to host it 2) host it 3) put info and links from Pharo website to it. Then, updating webdoc is just a matter of upoading a new version... Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Re: [Pharo-project] PetitParser puzzle

A star parser always succeeds. And the operator / only matches of the parser on the left side couldn't succeed. In the "line" case the lineBlank succeeds thus the right one is not tried. Hmm, indeed, hadn't thought of that. Swapping the / sides makes it work. > So no characters are consumed and the test fails because it does not parse. That was what first came to my mind but then I thought this might be just a hack to reverse the order of ther parser. But my initial mail was right. The more specific parser should go before to all matching parser. OK, makes sense. Thanks! -- Damien Pollet type less, do more [ | ] http://people.untyped.org/damien.pollet

Yep, but in addition you can use directly the database client library instead of ODBC, which most of the times is better. The ODBC backend in SqueakDBX should be mostly used only when there is no database client working.
