#598 Dynamic loading and wikitext project-files.

[Anonymous]

Hi Lee,

I have a small inconvenience. When I use a wikitext project-file on my page then all inner project-files would not be loaded unless the rest of the page is completely loaded. For example, when I have a part of my manuscript, then all figures inside the wikitext project-file will be loaded at latest.

Another thing, when I use your wrap-up "all-pngs" for my presentation, it creates a lot of dynamic view small windows like that: http://yushan.mcmaster.ca/theobio/akhmetzhanov/index.php/Taiwan14

Would it be Ok to try either to change the priority in dynamic loading or to make the internal part of the wikitext-files as static viewable?

Thank you in advance, Andrei

OK - I might be open to changing the order. There's an implicit
expectation that make targets are done in order, from beginning to end
of the page. When exactly should files within files be done? It's not
entirely clear to me. But I think it's important to keep the same order
when doing in dynamically as when doing it the older way. The older
ways does files within files all together, after all the files in the
page are done. Changing that would be kind of hard, and I'm not sure
what I think is best. Would you like to say more about what you think
would be best?

Yes, the %.all-pngs.wikitext rule is pretty simplistic and could be
improved. It just writes a .wikitext file full of project-file tags,
which make and display the different pages of the document. We could
write, maybe, a %.all-pngs.html rule that would actually make the .png
files and produce html code with img tags displaying the png files.
That would display them directly once the .html file is loaded.

I think that part of the problem is that this feels worse in the new (dynamic) version, although I'm not convinced that it is. I do kind of think that it makes sense to do "depth first"; more consistent with the logic of going straight down the page. That is, recurse within the files as you get to them.

I do think it seems reasonable in the dynamic loading - I'm concerned
that it'll be hard to do in the non-dynamic code. But I should look and
find out.
