Re: [Pharo-users] Native language support

I got a mail that suggest a fix: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15085/non-english-character-input (I have attached it as a file-out, you can just drag-n-drop it on the pharo desktop) We should check if that solves the problem.

Re: [Pharo-users] Pillar and GT tools in Pharo4

Ok. I will add a dependency from Pillar-Pharo-Tools to PetitParser core. Actually, I would rather prefer to create a separate ConfigurationOfPillarTools that adds the Pillar-Pharo-Tools and the PetitParser dependency. What that be Ok?

Hi peter RMoD/citezen parses visits bib file entries I'm about to integrate in Pillar (waiting to discuss with Damien). In the past I created a simple document model (without syntax) in which I could output Xhtml and specific one for bib entries. I use it for my web site but I want to revisit everything to have static web system Pillar + mustache template => web site Pillar + mustache template + extension/citezen => static web site + citezen Once I arrive to this static version, I want to revisit Marina to see how we can build component with reef but for that version I need help and esteban :) Le 7/3/15 00:41, Peter UhnÃ¡k a Ã©crit : > Hi, > > I've seen somewhere recently something that resembled citations > manager, or maybe some DSL describing citations/references. > Unfortunately I came across it accidentally while looking for > something unrelated so I didn't bookmark it. > > Maybe it was related to Pillar? > > Anyone knows? > > Thanks, > Peter
