WebHelpers 0.6.2 has been uploaded to PyPI. Changelog:
* nl2br() and format-paragraphs were not literal-safe.
* webhelpers.converters:
- New helper transpose() to turn a 2D list sideways (making the rows columns
and the columns rows).
* webhelpers.markdown:
- Upgrade to Markdown 1.7.
- Add a warning about escaping untrusted HTML to
webhelpers.html.converters.markdown() docstring.
- Did not include Markdown's extensions due to relative import issues.
Use the full Markdown package if you want footnotes or RSS.
* webhelpers.media:
- New module for muiltimedia helpers. Initial functions determine the size
of an image and choose a scaling factor.
* webhelpers.html.tags:
- Options tuple contains Option objects for select/checkbox/radio groups.
select() now uses this automatically.
- checkbox() and radio() now have a ``label`` argument.
* webhelpers.number:
- Population standard deviation contributed by Lorenzo Catucci.
I've started work on some field layout helpers to decorates an input
control with its title, required-ness, error message and help text,
and to format a group of checkboxes. The preliminary code is in
webhelpers.html.form_layout, and in unfinished/group.py in the source
distribution. I'm still not satisifed with it as there's a tradeoff
between HTML correctness, flexibility, and simplicity. These are
based on functions contributed by James Gardner, but the originals use
tables for layout which is archaic HTML and also quite verbose when
spoken by a screen reader. My approach uses <div>'s, but then you get
into issues of single vs multiple controls (a single control should
have <label> around its title but a group of controls should not), how
to format columns of checkboxes/radios (one site uses an <ul> with
<div>s around groups of <li>s for the columns, which is questionable
HTML), and how to do <label for=""> when the control is created by
another helper so you don't know its ID, and you don't want to force
the user to specify the ID twice or mix the field() arguments with the
input control arguments (text()). So this is all experimental, and
feedback would be welcome. The form_layout module has a warning in
the docstring to copy it to your application if you want to use it, to
avoid incompatibilities as the original changes.
