Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo 1.2.1 and ProfStef

by laurent laffont

Here's a version of HelpSystem + ProfStef-Help with syntax highlighting (works in 1.2 and 1.3): Gofer it squeaksource: 'LaurentLSandbox'; package: 'HelpSystem-Core'; package: 'ProfStef-Help'; load Torsten, I've added HelpTopic>>beStyled HelpTopic>>isStyled and change HelpBrowser>>onItemClick So an HelpTopic can tell if it want syntax highlighting or not. If you're OK I push in HelpSystem repo.

Refactoring and with: [] indention

by Scott Gibson

When I refactor, or format the code, there seems to be too much indention where "with: []" is used. For example: renderHeaderOn: html (html div) id: 'header'; with: [ self renderLoginOn: html. self renderLogoOn: html. self renderMenuOn: html ] Is this how it is supposed to be? Is there a way to reduce the indention by one level if so? Thanks! Scott Gibson

DBXTalk (SqueakDBX) goes to Pharo 1.3

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi. This is just to let you know that SqueakDBX (soon DBXTalk) has 100% green tests in Pharo 1.3 without chaning one single line of code. In addition, half of the team is using Pharo 1.3 and the other one 1.2. We updated ConfigurationOfSquealDBX >> #stable Cheers -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

At least with ProfStefTutorials you need lots of " and ' in order to get other colors than just red, since there isn't any switch to mark text as code. Markus

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo 1.2.1 and ProfStef

by Pat Maddox

I think a help system for smalltalk absolutely benefits from smalltalk syntax highlighting. And any time you're flipping through pages of documentation, it's useful to know what page you're on, how many pages are left, and to be able to easily flip back and forth between them. "Nothing to do with a help system?" I wholeheartedly disagree...

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo 1.2.1 and ProfStef

by Tudor Girba

I have a ProfStef browser in the GlamorousToolkit project. If you want to give it a try you can download a ready made image from (based on Pharo 1.2.1): http://hudson.moosetechnology.org/job/glamorous-toolkit-latest-dev/lastSucc… Or load it in your image by: Gofer new squeaksource: 'glamoroust'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGlamoroust'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlamoroust) perform: #loadDefault. To play with the existing tutorials, start it with: GTProfStefEncyclopedia open Cheers, Doru On 29 Apr 2011, at 18:03, laurent laffont wrote: > On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 5:31 PM, Torsten Bergmann <astares(a)gmx.de> wrote: > Hi, > > these requirements have nothing to do with a help system > and is more oriented towards a "teaching Smalltalk" tool > HelpBrowser should stay generic as possible.
