Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Add a new "noscript" template that inserts some sort of icon or box into the descriptions of methods that are marked as "[noscript]".

I've now added the new method_noscript template, which you use like this:

{{template.method_noscript("functionName()")}}

This inserts a section header with a special "Native code only!" notice floating to its right.

While I was at it, I added new templates for badging methods as being introduced in specific versions of Firefox or Gecko.  See my blog post about them here: http://www.bitstampede.com/2009/04/08/handy-new-templates-for-mdc/

Minor nit:  the method name doesn't include (), so shouldn't the template add that for you?

Comment 4

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Now the templates add the parens for you.  I'd debated doing that and decided against it, but you changed my mind (that's how close a call it was for me).

Also, how should we distinguish noscript in the list of methods?

Comment 6

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Well... we could just include the "[noscript]" in the IDL snippet in the method list... but I suppose we could add a template to do the little box thing there too.

Comment 7

I've added a new template: noscript_inline -- this embeds a "Native code only!" box inline in text, and can be used in the method list.
