Question

Can someone help me with this issue? I have a status report rollup tool that works like this:

• Each contributor adds their report to their personal report pages, delimited with <cycle> </cycle> tags, where cycle is the week/month indicator.
• The rollup page dynamically includes the requested report from each controbutor and displays then.

All this is done using include regexps, forms and spreadsheet magic and works extremely well. Today I had a request that the people who were responsible for rolling up the next level reports would like to see the unrendered contributor reports to facilitate cut/paste.

The simplest way to do it would be to add verbatim tags around the reports, but doing so prevents the CALC from being evaluated.

Any suggestions on how to conditionally add verbatim tags around a bunch of text? Or other ways to solve my problem?

PS: I plan to post this tool as an add-on at some point ... ust not getting the time.

Thanks.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

OK ... I found a new parameter raw=on in Dakar (VarINCLUDE). The doc says:

If you prefer to include exactly what is in the 
source of the originating page set this to on.

i'm pretty certain that raw=on is in Cario - so yep

in cairo, you can use skin=text;raw=on (or skin=text;raw=debug to get all of the metadata, too)

IncludeVerbatim?skin=text;raw=on

IncludeVerbatim?skin=text;raw=debug

You might be able to do what you want using FormattedSearch, see $pattern(reg-exp). It's more complicated to set up but it probably has the functionality you need.

dammit, we all forgot to show an eg?

%!INCLUDE{"http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/IncludeVerbatim?skin=text;raw=on"}%

except that it does not work on tiwki.org due to a security fix done to reduce the chance of infinite loops in INCLUDES

Hear's an example that shows links to three TWiki Tip topics using the first header from each topic as the link text.

%SEARCH{ "^TWiki[Custom]*Tip[0-9A-Z]" web="TWiki" scope="topic" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" limit="3" format="[[%SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/$web/$topic][$pattern(.*?\-\-\-\+([^\n\r]+).*)]]
"}%

%SEARCH{ "^TWiki[Custom]*Tip[0-9A-Z]" web="TWiki" scope="topic" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" limit="3" format="$n()<verbatim>$n() [[%SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/$web/$topic][$pattern(.*?\-\-\-\+([^\n\r]+).*)]]
$n()</verbatim>$n()"}%

$n() [[%SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/$web/$topic][$pattern(.*?\-\-\-\+([^\n\r]+).*)]]<BR />$n()

Your pattern reg-exp will obviously have to be different to pick up what's between your cycle tags.
