Subject: [MKDoc-dev] RSS auto-discovery and firefox 1.5
Message-ID: <20051116190452.GB2360@webarchitects.co.uk>

With firefox 1.0.x, MKDoc rss feeds were detected and an icon
appeared so they could be bookmarked.  With the latest firefox 1.5
release candidate this icon doesn't appear anymore.

The MKDoc fragment that no longer works:

  <link rel="syndication"
    href="http://www.mkdoc.com/.headlines.rss"
    title="RSS 1.0 Headlines"
    type="application/xml; charset=UTF-8"
    hreflang="en-gb" />
    
These two are ok:

  <link rel="alternate"
    title="Slashdot RSS"
    href="http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot"
    type="application/rss+xml">

  <link
  href="http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/rss.xml"
  rel="alternate"
  type="application/rss+xml"
  title="rss" />

This blog suggests that link rel="alternate syndication" should
work instead of just "syndication":

OK, I have changed it to this, perhaps we should also consider serving
RDF as application/rdf+xml -- the RFC went through for this last year
[1]... is this MIME type supported by Firefox yet? 

We have been using application/xml because the spec says:

  The current mime-type recommendation for an RSS 1.0 document is
  application/xml. However, work is currently being done to register a
  mime-type for RDF (and possibly RSS). The RDF (or preferably RSS)
  mime-type should be used once it has been registered.

Confirmed, auto-discovery now works with firefox 1.5.

Subject: [MKDoc-dev] New modifiers for template designers
Message-ID: <20051118153212.GS21347@mkdoc.com>

MKDoc 1.6 CVS now has some new Petal modifiers to allow template 
designers more freedom when displaying text.

The new modifiers use the same MKDoc::Text::Structured backend as 
the Text Component.  This means that plain text strings can now be 
displayed in a variety of ways:

The as_html_entities: modifier will add smartquotes and convert 
simple ascii constructs such as (c) to their rich text equivalents.

  <title petal:content="structure as_html_entities: title">Document Title</title>

The as_html_inline: modifier will do the same, but will also add 
inline tags such as strong or abbr.

  <h1 petal:content="structure as_html_inline: title">Document Title</h1>

The as_html_blocks: modifier will do the same, but will add block 
level structures such as paragraph tags, lists etc...

  <div petal:content="structure as_html_blocks: description">Document Description</div>

For full documentation of MKDoc::Text::Structured, see:

I think it makes sense to use this for the Rights, Publisher and
Description metadata when it appears on a page. Will this also turn URIs
into links and if not could this be an option?

Yes the "as_html_inline:" and "as_html_blocks:" modifiers should
linkify URIs.

Basically "as_html_blocks:" does exactly the same conversion as the
Text Component.

Subject: [MKDoc-dev] [bug] Error messages when uploading files other than
	jpegs using the photo component
Message-ID: <20051122132052.GA5417@webarchitects.co.uk>

Hi

It was reported in irc last night that the latest (updated last week)
CVS version of MKDoc 1.6 generates this error in the logs when a png is
uploaded using a photo component:

 Cannot upload image: Exception 450: Unsupported marker type 0xa3 at 
 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/CGI/Carp.pm line 314.
 at /home/mkdoc/mkd/flo/Editor.pm line 483

I have now amended the photo component so that it is clear that only
jpegs are supported, however I haven't been able to reproduce the error
message above.

I think we also need to tell the user that they have tried to upload a
unsupported file type and that they should retry with a jpeg rather than
png uploads simply failing silently...
