I like theme-creation checking. What we should do is have a standard
to write such requirements and make tools to check for it. I see that
Entrance, at least, have such thing as a table.(see README,edje).
While fields separators are open, the required fields are:
PART;part_name;state1,state2,..,stateN;TYPE;Required;Desc
SIGNAL:signal_name;signal_source;Required;Desc
This is easy to parse in any language and easy to read without any
special tool. We can also write simple awk/python/sed scripts to
output this in nice formated tables (html, ascii) for inclusion in
documentation.
One could like to have it as edje, doing blocks, but I think it will
be harder to write such parsers, so it doesn't worth the pain:
part {
name: "part_name";
type: RECT;
required: 1;
desc: "free form text";
}
signal {
name: "sig_name";
source: "*";
required: 1;
desc: "free form text";
}
