Hi Sergio,
You're in luck! I literally just gave a presentation on the whacky world of
optionsplit.
The best example usage I can of with optionsplit is to alternate menu item
styles (useful for making tabular items more readable). The OptionSplit divides
categories with a |*| and items with a ||. The idea - in the case of a dropdown
menu (which is my current bane) - is, there's a topmost section (perhaps a
graphical border), then all the menu items in the middle section, and then a
bottom section (again another border). Let's play:
--- Format ---
Optionsplit is divided into 3 sections and 3 sections only. But, inside those
sections you can have as many sub-sections as you want. The code is like this:
FIRST SECTION |*| MIDDLE SECTION |*| LAST SECTION
--- Sections ---
Sections (and subsections) dictate how the real functionality of optionsplit
will work. All you do is, separate sections with |*| and subsections with "||":
Item1 || Item2 [||...] |*| Item3 || Item4 |*| Item5 || Item6 || Item7
--- Test! ---
Let's see if you can answer this sample exercise. Cover up the right side of
the table and guess what the result will be (sidebar: I hope this table is
visible in your email client!):
OptionSplititem1item2item3item4item5item6item7
|*| r || g |*| rgrgrgr
r |*| g |*| brrgggbb
|*||*| b || g bbg
r |*| g || b |*| rgbgbgb
r || g |*||*| b || wrbw
Once you get the hang of it, it's brilliant!
HTH,
-S.

Subject: [TYPO3-english] optionSplit for text value
Hi list,
I'm using ttnewsgenericmarkers extension to add my own tag to tt_news
template and I have to face with the next problem: I want to "split" this
tag some way.
My TS knowledge is very poor. I've been looking for the optionSplit code
too, but I don't know how to use it correctly. Could you just help me?
The idea is doing something like that:
plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers {
css = TEXT
css {
value = alpha || || omega
}
}
I mean: using "alpha" text for the first element, nothing for the middle
parts and "omega" text for the last element.
This code doesn't work as it replaces all text, and it doesn't split it.
Thanks in advance,
Sergio
