RE: [ jEdit-users ] XInsert 1.6

[John G. <jge...@ny...>]

The question for me is where to put the description data.  If one used a
@description tag in the macro script itself (say in the first ten lines,
like the inline formatting feature of the application), then you could have
XInsert scan the macro files whenever it loads its XML data.    It would be
easy to implement, but the scanning could slow down loading a good deal.  It
would be more efficient to have a XML-based macro catalog (which could be
used elsewhere in the application), but that might be awkward to maintain,
particularly for users' macros, without  some expansion of the Macros.Macro
class in the application API.  If one took that step, however, the
application could read and write macro meta-data as part of reading and
writing user settings.  Updating macros online could then become a fairly
easy task.  That's as far as my thinking has taken me; maybe there's
another, better approach.
