Would like a few additional controls available in Salt UI prototypes

Question

There are at least three controls I'd really like to see added to the Salt UI prototype syntax:

• TreeView controls
• Links
• Horizontal Rule

Any chance of seeing these included?

Answer 1

TreeView controls

We may add something like:

{T
 +America
 ++Canada
 ++USA
 +++New York
 ++Mexico
 +Europe
 ++Italy
 ++Germany
 +++Berlin
 +Africa
}

Where "T" mean Tree

What do you think about it ?

Links
Do you want some working HTTP links (as for SVG generation), or just a way to display links?

In that case, you could use:

@startsalt
{
 This is a link to <u>http://www.google.com</u>.
}
@endsalt

 

Horizontal Rules

What about the following syntax:

@startsalt
{
 Some text
 ---
 Other text
}
@endsalt

Where --- would be replaced by the horizontal line ?

 

Comments

As far as links go, you're exactly right - underlining the text works fine.  And your suggested syntaxes for both tree controls and for horizontal rules sounds perfect.  Thanks!

you can create link with the creole syntax [[http://www.google.com]] but it seems to have some limitation when using the pipe like this
[[http://www.google.com|google]] particulary in tabs and menu
