RENDERLIST Macro

RENDERLIST Macro

• Place a %RENDERLIST{ }% before any bullet list
  • The lists can be handcrafted, generated by another Plugin, a %TOC%, or the result of a FormattedSearch
• Supported parameters:

  "name" or theme="name"	Select a rendering theme
  focus="any text"	Focus list on a bullet with specified text
  depth="2"	Remove bullets with an indent greater then the depth. The depth is relative to the highlighted bullet in case focus is specified

• Rendering themes can be defined by _THEME Plugin settings
  • Each theme is defined by a comma separated list containing the render type and parameters required by that render type
  • There are different render types; this initial Plugin version has tree and icon render types
• Format of the tree render type:
  • Set _THEME = tree, <0/1 flag to suppress/show lines of first level>
• Format of the icon render type:
  • Set _THEME = icon, <0/1 flag to suppress/show lines of first level>, , , , , , ,
  • To define new Icon themes, attach images to this Plugin topic and set the parameters accordingly
• Focus bullet list:
  • Search bullet list for text. If a bullet is found:
    1. Highlight text and remove [[][]] links on bullet where text is found
    2. Reduce bullet list to show only its parents and children
  • This is useful to maintain one large bullet list with links to team pages, representing the organization of a company. Each team page can INCLUDE the bullet list with focus set to itself.

Bullets

• Use regular * bullets
• Start with level one
  • Increase indentation only one level at a time
    • Like this

  Align continuation lines with leading spaces like this
