2) Tags inside of tags (<td class = "<webobject name =

been yelling at you about this for months now, and that was very
intentional. If you listened to it, you're in a much better
position for 5.4. There is no automatic fix for this ... In
fact, I would not be surprised that this will probably whack out
the WOLips autoformatter and wobuilder cleaner.
What about <td class = "cl<webobject name = SomeClass></
webobject>"> ?
I believe this is illegal in 5.4. This is sort of dirty even
without 5.4, IMO, though. Legal, but ugly. I prefer
WOGenericContainers or Wonder's helper functions for things like this.
Sure. This is usually used by out graphic designer when needing to
add prefixes or whatever to class names and so forth.
3) lazy tags. <br> <p> <li> all those tags you love to not
close ... WOLips lets you get away with it in non-5.4 mode, but
you should be ashamed of yourself :)
Hmm.. Closing br tags, at least, is invalid for html 4.01 strict.
Seems a strange assumption to me that all templating is xhtml.
<link> is the same way, actually. I should not have lumped <br> in
that list above. This is why I prefer Wonder's parser over WO 5.4's.
fair enough.
5.4 provides support for doing crazy stuff like defining groovy
expressions inside wod files, etc (which I find to be pretty nasty
and WOLips doesn't even ATTEMPT to try to validate that stuff).
Interesting. I'd already created my own groovy bindings addition...
WONDER-36. Now I understand what Anjo meant.
Personally I find creating a simple groovy expression in your wod
binding cleaner looking than WOOgnl.
e.g.,
SomeDiv : WOGenericContainer {
<....>
omitTags = hasFoo && hasBar;
}
Other than that, I think Wonder's is a more developer-friendly
parser. I am, however, totally biased on this topic :) I think
groovy components over in-place groovy bindings is probably the
better approach to solve the dynamic binding problem.
If it's a developer updating the page, sure. It's simple things like
being able to prefix a numeric id for css purposes where groovy
bindings are very helpful for a web designer.
