There is one thing to mention about parsing tips. Are we going to put
the additional comments to the wiki? There are many useful comments but
there are also many useless junk.
It would be _lots_ of work to look at every comment and see if they're
useful or not.
What are your ideas?
This is a really good question. Here's my opinion.
The comments *are* a necessary part of the tip, and should be included
with the import. In general, I would like to move 100% of the content
from the tips on the vim.org web site to the wiki, even if some of the
data doesn't fit very well into the wiki. After that, the tips
information can be "refactored" as necessary by the community.
FWIW, my script already includes all the "Additional Notes" comments in
its output files; plus ratings.
I'm not sure how one might want to do ratings in the future, though.
Here's one quick idea...
each tip includes ratings
to change a tip's rating, click on a link for one of the three selections.
The link updates a database similarly to what is done now and modifies
the tip page to reflect the new rating.
I bring this up because the change-rating gadget is missing from at
least my script's output, and if a mechanism
can be agreed upon the script could include that mechanism.
