This page is to development a syntax for the specification of pagesets. It should be possible to avoid the use of whitespace and other special characters (&, #, ...) to make the syntax able for the HTML -command-line.
Needed:
The sets could be assigned to variables and combined with usual set operations (logical or set operations? which symbols):
- @1=(Page1;Page2)/@2=@seach"Category"/@{1 AND }?(@{2 OR }?@3) (command separator needed)
- Operators 1: & | (not good, collision with HTML
)
- Operators 2: + - *
- Operators 3: AND OR
- Others: SPLIT, JOIN, INTERSECT, UNION, ...
Maybe a search (or searchbody) and a searchtitle function is neeeded? How to specify the concept of "word" within a pagename?
Maybe the set terminology is not accessable to typical users. Maybe a list terminology (nearer to Perl list=array) is a better compromise.
What is "the HTML command line"? Is this to do with typing in raw HTML , but adding some extra parsing? If so, you might find & is a very good character to use to indicate special operations, since it is already used roughly that way. For example: Page1∧Page2 (written &and . The "∧" character can IIRC be translated by a browser to a standard symbol, or even a picture, provided you give it ample warning. Mine does it automatically. -- ChrisPurcell
