Sounds great. I am really looking forward to using the PetitPillar parser. Cheers, Doru On Tue, Sep 1, 2015 at 3:45 PM, Ferlicot D. Cyril <cyril.ferlicot@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello guys!
I finished 5 months of internship into the RMoD team. I worked on Pillar and I am glad to announce the version 1.0.0! You can find an updated documentation of this version here :
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Books/job/EnterprisePharoBook/la... .
We decided with Damien Cassou to use Semetic Versioning from now (see: http://semver.org/).
I will now explain the main changes I did on Pillar during my internship.
For each new feature I added tests and documentation.
I will begin with the changes of Pillar's structure
- The configuration system is now manage by Cocoon (http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/Cocoon) -- We now use Magritte in Cocoon
- I added Annotations : A syntax extension point
- I added Transformers : A way to transform a document model before an export (to add a section structure in HTML for example)
- Some small refactoring. -- Improvement of the template management -- Improvement of the Pillar model parameters
- Improvement of the document model -- Now the figures and links are two different entity
- I begun a PetitPillar (with PetitParser) in order to replace the old parser too complicated.
Now I will talk about new features for the users
- Improvement of the usability of Pillar under Windows
- Beamer and Deck.js exporters
- Annotations : -- To include a Pillar file into an other (${inputFile:path}$) (Example:
https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/EnterprisePharo/blob/master/Enter... ) -- To create new slides in Beamer and Deck.js (${slide:My Title|label=optional}$) -- To create columns into a Pillar document (currently works in Beamer, Deck.js and HTML) -- â¦
- Transformers -- You can now add a parameter "lineNumber=true" to a script and Pillar will transform them to add the line numbers -- You can now import a script from an other file (see the documentation of the scripts) -- â¦
- Improvement of the errors raised by Pillar
- Addition of the inter-files links
- Improvement of the title configuration for numbering
- No need to make scripts anymore to use Pillar ! -- You can used "defaultExporters" in your configuration to do multiple export (see documentation) -- Pillar generate a script for LaTeX compilation (only for Unix for now)
- Possibility to export everything into a different folder (simpler to clean after) -- And possibility to copy some support files
For the two previous point you can take example on Enterprise Pharo (https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/EnterprisePharo) and Pharo Mooc (https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoMooc).
This was a really cool internship :)
If you have some questions do not hesitate!
