It is Pd, so I think we should at least make an effort to
make things easy to parse in Pd. I tried your parser
using data that is probably closer to what we might use, and
it didn't work at all. If someone can get a
Pd parser working that can handle the commas well, then I
would be OK using commas in the meta data format.
Here's my data:
tags - pure data, frequency modulation, synthesis
Hi Hans,
I wouldn't expect my example to work as a general solution. If
you
want a general solution, I'd be happy to take a stab at it, but you
haven't said what you want Pd to do with the data example you've
provided
above.
Ah, sorry, I thought you'd followed the object_db.tcl plugin
discussion and the [pd META] discussion with Frank. Basically, the
object_db.tcl plugin builds a multilevel menu for finding objects
based on tags. I'm am sure people will think of other uses for the
tags. Frank suggested using comma separated tags in his [pd
REFERENCE] format, the PDDP group came to the conclusion that the meta
data should be easily parsable by Pd, and I still think that's a good
idea.
So the idea is to have every help patch have a [pd META] subpatch, and
in it, have a comment with tags.
