PhiEdit (a new project) is a editor-plugin for eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org) who is arised from the editor PIEdit. With this editor it is possible to define styles like font-size, font-name, bold, italics, etc. over regular-expressions for text-fragments (tokens). To every token one can execute a small Java-program, who creates the final output (e.g. HTML). Through this technic the creation of styles, that are needed for HTML, becomes unnecessary, because they are implicitely in the plain-text. So one can define e.g. the following:
- Headers produces automatically H1- or H2-tags
- Links are generated over a text-id automatically, when this id occurres somewhere in the text -> e.g. the text "PIEdit"
- first char of each sentence big
- automatic creation of additional information as hover-effect for Downloads (e.g. file-size, file-type, etc.)
- a date like 05.01.2008 is displayed in red
- text in braces or quotation-marks has different colors
- and a lot more...
Throughout the use of editable areas, inside a page, templates are possible. They allow the efficient and simple editing of areas that are on all pages common (like the footer on the end of each page).
At this place i will refer to the votings, forums and the guest-book that can be found in the start-menu lower left. There you can give e.g. your opinion to this homepage. Any feedback is welcome.
P.S.: I have made a small Bug-Fix in the Site-Checker-Project. The Bug was, that the response-html (with the error-report) was not displayed. The new version 1.02 can now be downloaded (Site-Checker-Download).
