793497 - Alternate method to using inline script required for page

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Trevor]

This page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL/Property/editable uses an inline script to display the Fx_minversion_inline template if the page path ends in XUL/menulist, so when included in this page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL/menulist it should show the template.

An alternative needs to be implemented.

Several sub pages of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL/textbox do a similar thing with a slightly different script {{ page.unprefixedpath == 'XUL:textbox' ? web.html(' ' .. template.Fx_minversion_inline(3)) : '' }}

This logic should be within a template, right?  We really shouldn't be muddling our docs with ternary code; the least amount of template features in the documents themselves, the better.

I think Les would agree.

Yeah, kumascript does not & will not support expressions like this in docs. That kind of logic needs to be written in JS code in a macro template. Basically, the only valid syntax in docs is a simple macro like {{ name(args) }}

Is the underlying issue (pages trying to use inline script) still happening anywhere? I don't know of any.

I'm going to WONTFIX unless it is still happening, in which case please reopen...
