Re: [Po4a-devel] Turning off wrapping for a specific XHTML tag

Kaloian Doganov <kaloian(a)doganov.org&gt; writes: It would be much easier if there was a way to specify this wrap-flag individually for a tag, without having to deal with global skipping/non-skipping of all mentioned tags. Also, it will be useful if the wrapping of the <script> tag is turned off by default in the Xhtml module. The <script> tag by definition contains code fragment of a syntax which Po4a does not understand. The most widely used language is ECMAScript, of course, and ECMAScript's syntax almost ignores whitespace, with some notable exceptions. For example: <script> var label1 = "Hello"; var label2 = "World"; // Please replace with your own messages! </script> Becomes: <script> var label1 = "Hello"; var label2 = "World"; // Please replace with your own messages! </script> which is not a valid ECMAScript code, so the interpreter ignores and the document is broken. Also, a <script> tag can contain other languages as well, for example Python or Basic, where whitespace is even more significiant. Therefore, wrapping of such code fragments is not a good idea per se. -- Protect your digital freedom and privacy, eliminate DRM, learn more at http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm
