texte = I take note of every feature request but i think we should not overload = the WebDNA language with instructions if a new tag is not mandatory. In = this suggestion, if a bunch of functions is loaded from the top of the = page, or from an include, the list would be easily available in all = cases just by reading it. I am not sure i understand the scope of = getting this "function list" inside an interpreted web page. PHP has already 1200+ available instructions but my guess is 10% of them = are really useful. I think one of the beauties of WebDNA is that the code is usually easy = to read and understand, with less than 100 instructions. If we would = have to add new contexts, they should do things that are either too = complex or impossible to build with current library of instructions. Just an example: we have added [thirurlplusget] new context in WebDNA = 7.0 so the [thisurl] tag will produce this: /x/y/z/index.dna and the [thirurlplusget] tag will produce this: /x/y/z/index.dna?a=3Db&c=3Dd and then i realized it was something extremely easy to do with a = function: function name=3Dthisurlplusget] = [return][thisurl]?[formvariables][name]=3D[value]&[/formvariables][/return= ] [/function] We have to think better before adding new contexts! :-) - chris On Jun 23, 2011, at 8:08, William DeVaul wrote: > Can I make this a feature request? >=20 > Perhaps something like: > [list type=3Dfunctions] [index] [value] [/list] >=20 > would work. >=20 > Bill >=20 > On Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 5:31 PM, William DeVaul
