Template talk:Howto

Here's an idea for the question-mark graphic. I'm not sure whether I like it or not, so I'm putting it here. If someone else likes it too, feel free to go ahead and use it. (I'm also not sure whether it's a good idea to have it as rendered ConTeXt -- it's a fun idea, but it may make it a bit slower to load.)

Wow! I haven't even thought about using internal ConTeXt stuff for rendering graphics. I would search forever for a good graphics elsewhere. Personally I like it. If someone doesn't like it or can do it better or if we want to unify the symbols later for whatever reason, it can still be redone, but I would leave the rendering work to ConTeXt.

Patrick knows it better, but I believe that rendering is done only once and then the old PNGs are used, so it shouldn't be any slower than if we upload a picture. Mojca 11:23, 12 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Brooks, this is very nice! About the speed/rendering: If the text between the context tags is not changed, no TeX process will get started. Only a checksum is calculated for the code (which should be very fast for such short code). So I think that this is a good way. --pg

viewing all the howtos

Patrick, thank you for correcting the link. I noticed that stupid mistake, but I was away for a while and couldn't correct it. I would like a link to a page where all the pages containing the howto template would be shown (just as all the pages from one Category are shown). I thought that after adding the template to the page, the page would already show up in the How to? automatically. Any ideas how to do it?

Hmmm ... now that we have it, perhaps this is just the right place to put (the first) question mark :)

The author of this entry is looking for a solution for the described problem.

(See: How to?)

not that I know of, sorry. I tried {{subst:....}} in the [sandbox], but that didn't work. I'll investigate. --pg

OK, thank you anyway. I'll also try to ask some local wiki gurus for help. I wonder why http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Škrbina works. (Sorry for pointing to the Slovenian site (Stub Category), but it's English equivalent http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Stub is empty.)

The most strange thing about it is that if you take a look at any article listed there (say Adrenalin), no Category is given explicitely, only the {{Stub}} template is used. Also, if you ask for statistics there, all the stub articles are excluded, so there must be a way for special treatment of some articles such as the Taco's Release Notes. If I find out anything, I'll report it. --Mojca 00:15, 14 Aug 2005 (CEST)

This seems to be working fine now, with the "How To" category sans the "?" -- I just put {{howto}} in the Title_Page page, and it added the category automatically. --Brooks 00:59, 15 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Addendum: The Bold small caps page showed up on the list when I made a minor edit to it and saved my edits. Apparently the system simply didn't process the changes through until the pages itself was edited, or something like that. (My guess is that adding a category to a template doesn't actually add the linkbacks for the pages containing that template to the category listing, and one has to edit the pages to invoke the code that adds the linkbacks. This is arguably a Wiki bug.) --Brooks 01:51, 15 Aug 2005 (CEST)
