Talk:Non-clip functions

Revision as of 05:03, 14 December 2015

Nothing links here

After fixing this page up, I notice that nothing on this site links here; Internal_functions and its sub-pages has replaced it. I feel a bit foolish now for spending time on it, but I did so because I have landed here several times from search results. As time permits, I plan to revise this page again, linking to newer content where available.

It's nice to see to all functions listed in one page, makes searching easier sometimes. The non-clip functions page has more than a 1000 views so undoubtedly some people have managed to find it. Under User defined functions the 'Script Grammar' seems to be missing. I checked the old wiki and it just redirects to Grammar. https://web.archive.org/web/20110907071238/http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Non-clip_functions

Please don't do things twice. If something changes I have to update them both (or four times to be exact, since all this stuff here should be synced with the offline documentation. Either we remove http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Non-clip_functions and the link to it, or we put all functions from http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Internal_functions in http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Non-clip_functions (as sections). And then we will let http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Internal_functions refer to these sections. Let me know if it's not clear. Admin 19:33, 16 September 2014 (CEST)

Good idea. I think I prefer the second, single-page option, as there is no way (AFAIK) to get an automatic listing of all functions (aka Table of Contents) unless they are subheadings on a single page, or else discrete pages with a common Category. So I will begin to merge the newer documentation from Internal_functions into Non-clip_functions, and when that's done, create the links as you describe.

Done! Everything has been moved to Internal functions. To avoid adding to the maintenance burden, I created function templates, Template:ScriptFunctionH5 and Template:ScriptFunctionCode, (signature-compatible with Template:ScriptFunction), instead of inserting a lot of manual formatting. All old pages redirect to the new page to avoid 404 errors.

Wow, great job Raffriff42. Looks very nice, kudos and keep up the good work :) - Reel.Deal 04:23, 17 September 2014 (CEST)

"or four times to be exact, since all this stuff here should be synced with the offline documentation" - have you looked at the MediaWiki publishing features such as Extension:DumpHTML? It should save you a lot of work. -- Raffriff42 05:03, 14 December 2015 (CET)
