Please, No Restate-the-selector Method Comments
by Sean P. DeNigris April 25, 2015

April 25, 2015

I'd like to see the removal of comments like: StandardWindow>>#title "Answer tht window title." Here we have a comment that adds no value, but adds to the maintenance burden because there is a typo. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Please-No-Restate-the-selector-Method-Comments-tp4821… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

changing nautilus method icons
by Peter UhnÃ¡k April 25, 2015

April 25, 2015

Hi, is there some (API) way to control the icons for methods in Nautilus? I would like to show an icon for methods that contains "self shouldBeImplemented". Something like what is shown when there is "self halt" in the method. Is this possible without overriding something inside Nautilus? (Possibly through Nautilus Plugin Manager, but I have no idea how that works.) Thanks, Peter

SmalltalkImage>>#imageName
by Sean P. DeNigris April 25, 2015

April 25, 2015

After a brief IRC chat, it seems like returning just the file base (i.e. without the extension). Any objections before I open an issue? SeanDeNigris_: I found it surprising that `Smalltalk imageName` returns the full path. Just me? [11:34am] maxleske: ++ [11:43am] SeanDeNigris_: Worth an issue? Only sender seems to be Spotter [11:49am] DamienCassou: all these little things are annoying. So, +1 to create an issue ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/SmalltalkImage-imageName-tp4821681.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Simple benchmark RBParser vs. Shout
by Marcus Denker April 25, 2015

April 25, 2015

Hi, I want to get a feeling of how much faster Shout is compared to RBParser. This is a very simplistic bench: [Morph methods do: [:method | RBParser parseFaultyMethod: method sourceCode ]] bench. "'3.197 per second'" [Morph methods do: [ :method | SHTextStylerST80 new rangesIn: method sourceCode setWorkspace: false.]] bench "'2.797 per secondâ" This means that parsing performance alone is actually not bad with RBâ¦ (it would be interesting to look at edge casesâ¦) And then of course the next thing to do is the highlighting itself.

Monkey Office Hours

April 25, 2015

She doesn't seem to be at work. No review for https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15395 . BTW where is the code for the monkey, and is there any way to interact with her? E.g. manually force a review, see if she's working...

Re: [Pharo-dev] Rubric and Bloc are now in PharoExtras

Thank you!!! Quick question. What is our procedure about contributing to projects which we own but are not part of Core? Should we commit to the inbox or directly to the project repo? At the moment, I'm thinking of non-controversial things like fixing comment typos... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Rubric-and-Bloc-are-now-in-PharoExtras-tp4820182p4820… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Improving the documentation model
by stephan April 24, 2015

April 24, 2015

TL;DR: Some roadmap ideas. Looks like a lot of work. Comments and improvements welcome: We should replace the Pillar document format by a better one, suitable for WYSIWYG editing and creating long documents. --- The current documentation model for Pharo is Pillar. Pillar is the document model from the Pier CMS and provides exports to (a.o) html and LaTeX. It is a simplified form of the LaTeX document model without a WYSIWYG UI. In the research world two documentation systems dominate: LaTeX and Word. Word and its clones dominate areas where ease of use for small papers without maths are important, LaTeX the other fields. From personal experience I know that the lack of abstraction in Word and clones makes it very expensive to create large, consistently formatted documents. In addition, the typographical quality of the resulting documents is much lower than that achievable with LaTeX. On the other hand, repurposing LaTeX to generate anything other than PDF/paper documentation is difficult because of the underlying language that LaTeX is written in, and there is no easy to use WYSIWYG UI for LaTeX. It pains me to see the return of text based formatting with primitive formats like markdown. At least in LaTeX you can preserve semantics level content, in markdown we are back at html 1.0. The program I liked best for creating longer documents was Framemaker. That provided the needed abstractions in an efficient WYSIWYG UI. Framemaker was sold from 1986, so the performance of current hardware should be enough to run something similar in smalltalk. I used versions 5.5 and 6, and had to abandon it when Adobe stopped development and it was never migrated from PowerPC. Framemaker was fast enough to create books with hundreds and even thousands of pages. It had working versions of the long document features Word claimed to have. With Athens and TxText we now have low level abstractions for dealing with cursor and selection, fonts, rendering glyphs and having both on-screen and PDF output. On top of TxText we could add a model somewhat like the attached figure UML diagram of document structure A book consists of a number of named documents. This is essential for dealing with longer material, as in a wysiwyg system we want to avoid having to re-layout too much after a key is pressed. Across documents we only need to remember the starting page/section numbers. Each document consists of pages. On a page there can be fixed content and content that is dependent on the text flow. Most pages of a document have a similar layout, so each page refers to a masterpage that defines the default content. A document can have separate masterpages for first, left and right pages, and rotated or extra large ones. A masterpage can define fixed items and calculated ones (pagenumbers and current chapter). A textframedefinition describes the textframes and the textflow for each textframe. The text (and other in-line contents) of the document are stored in paragraphs, which are stored in textflows. The paragraphstyle of a paragraph knows how to layout it in a textframe, and how to deal with the end of a textframe. The paragraphstyle knows how to paginate, how to number or provide other autotext at the beginning of a paragraph and if the paragraph text should be part of a table of contents. A textframe is a (rectangular) area on a page. The characterstyle of a paragraph is responsible for the font family, size and style. The characterstyle can be overridden by a specific paragraph or by a textrange. With a model like this (and adding maths, tables, notes, figures and references) we should be able to use Pharo to create both high-quality documentation, and write research articles (and books) in-image.
