perhaps an iterator bug
by corvid＠lavabit.com 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

I was trying the new search functionality a bit more and found this (it's also present in my Dec 2008 dillo*). With the page: <table> <tr><td>no close-tr <tr><td>has a close-tr</tr> <tr><td>here's another line</tr> </table> if I search for "rh", it finds one instance of it split between the second and third table rows. * My older dillos were lost in a tragic "I don't think I need my CVS stuff anymore" accident.

If there is a handheld style sheet available and dillo is running on a handheld, it would be a shame not to use it. I'm hoping that the page author would have the sense to supply something for type "all". > Maybe it's more practical to provide custom stylesheets (as the > current "style.css". e.g. small_screen.css, print.css) and to > allow switching among them from the "Tools" menu. > > What do you think? I think someone using handheld would want to use both the page author's handheld-specific code and a user style suitable for their device. I'll send this to the list in case anyone with experience using such devices with the web has opinions to share.

patch: a binding for stop

AFAIS, in the sense of: > What is the purpose of KEYS_HIDE_PANELS when we have KEYS_FULLSCREEN? The idea is to handle the case of a "search text" request on hidden panels. In which case the search panel is temporarily shown, until Esc is pressed. If it can be done with less variables, no problem. Now, Esc is used to: - Close dialog windows - Hide the search panel Please don't rip that functionality. The idea is Esc to stop when there's no search bar. -- Cheers Jorge.-

[patch] Improving keyboard shortcuts for tab navigation
by tim.nieradzik＠gmx.de 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

This patch adds keyboard shortcuts for the tabs 0 - 9. You can reach them by pressing Ctrl concurrently with the number number of the tab you would like to see. Thus, for the first tab this is Ctrl-0. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl-Home. To get to the last tab, simply press Ctrl-End. In addition the modifier for moving left and right between tabs has been changed from Shift to Ctrl because it makes sense to have an unified modifier for all tab movement operations. --Tim

experimental patch: Re: dillo2 wrapping Chinese
by corvid＠lavabit.com 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09

dillo people: It turns out that dillo handles Chinese quite badly because the text doesn't contain whitespace (BUG 827). It looks like Japanese is that way as well. 1) People using East Asian languages: Does this do roughly the right thing? I've read that there are picky rules about certain individual characters, but I just mean in general here. 2) Thoughts on optimization are welcomed. littlebat: For some reason, I was thinking that whitespace was required between words in dillo, but I misremembered. littlebat wrote: > Hi, > Thanks for the work on Dillo. > > I think it isn't a good idea to resolve long chinese line wrapping > problem by inserting space after punctuation mark("?" or "?" or "?", > etc..). > > Here is a "Dillo2 Wrap Long Chinese Line Test" page: > http://www.learndiary.com/en/dillo2-wrap-long-chinese-line-test.htm . > Open it with Firefox or IE, then open it with Dillo2, You will see the > different of wrapping long chinese line between them. > > Note, unlike english, there is no space between Chinese characters.

view source dpi question
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi, annoyed by the slow source view widget I'd like to play with a source viewer dpi (Jorge, I think you suggested to use a dpi instead of coding it in dillo directly). However I want to avoid to reload the page from the dpi, as I want to be able to view the source exactly as it is currently displayed. How should I pass the html document from dillo to the dpi? Any ideas? Cheers, Johannes

https through a proxy
by corvid＠lavabit.com 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Yesterday I hacked up (it's still very hacky right now) some code that is intended to make https work through a proxy, but I haven't tested it on an actual proxy yet. Do you have any suggestions on what would be the most convenient way to go about this? (It'd be nicer just to test with something that's running out there than to do a bunch of building and configuring for something I'll just rm again afterward.)

[patch]: more doxygen fixes
by onepoint＠starurchin.org 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Doxygen is missing some methods because it's not smart enough about namespaces and sometimes thinks that the signatures of the declaration and the definition are different when they are not. You can see the warnings in its output (hint: redirect stdout to /dev/null to extract the warnings from the noise). Patch attached that adds some explicit namespace qualifiers. This removes doxygen's confusion, fixes the docs and silences the warnings. Regards, Jeremy Henty

Committed. BTW, I also added a a_Prefs_freeall() function. Please test. -- Cheers Jorge.-

[patch]: spelling: instanciate
by onepoint＠starurchin.org 31 May '09

31 May '09

The act of creating an instance is not "instanciation" but "instantiation". Patch attached. You have been reading "Great stupidities of English spelling", number 361 of a *very* long series. Regards, Jeremy Henty
