tor-webwml.git

1) Here's a brief overview of how our wml set-up works.
2) ----------------------------------------------------
3) 
4) Here's a typical wml file:

5) http://jqs44zhtxl2uo6gk.onion/project/web/webwml.git/docs/en/bridges.wml
6) https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/web/webwml.git/docs/en/bridges.wml

7) 
8) The top of the file has:
9) 
10)   ## translation metadata
11)   # Revision: $Revision$
12)   # Translation-Priority: 1-high
13) 

14)   #include "head.wmi" TITLE="Tor: Bridges"

15) 
16)   <div class="main-column">
17) 
18) and the bottom of the file has:
19) 
20)     </div><!-- #main -->
21) 
22)   #include <foot.wmi>
23) 
24) and the middle is standard html, plus a few extra tags like
25) <page> that we've added to automatically link to the translated
26) pages when they exist. So that wml page produces this html page:
27) https://www.torproject.org/bridges aka
28) https://www.torproject.org/bridges.html.en

29) http://expyuzz4wqqyqhjn.onion/docs/bridges

30) 
31) Then head.wmi and foot.wmi are just other mostly-html files you import
32) to handle the repeat parts of each page (well, that plus some embedded
33) perl scripts to generate some of the static content).

35) http://jqs44zhtxl2uo6gk.onion/project/web/webwml.git/include/foot.wmi

36) 
37) You can basically ignore the wml part of them, and to a first
38) approximation just think of them as more html.
39) 
40) So in summary, wml is like html with a bit more markup.

42) ----------------------------------------------------

44) Where it gets interesting is the download page:

45) http://jqs44zhtxl2uo6gk.onion/project/web/webwml.git/download/en/download-easy.wml

46) 
47) It has the standard header and footer section, but in the body of the page
48) it includes links like <a href="<package-osx-bundle-stable>". Rather than
49) putting URLs and Tor versions into every wml page, and then requiring
50) the translators to update their page whenever we bump a version number,
51) we instead define each URL and version as a new wml element:
