I have spent three days on these two plugins. The first one “animation” is written by myself after a quick view of the instructions on writing plugins for Dokuwiki, as there is no such kind of plugins so far. What I want to say is “Regular expression is really a devil”! It has almost taken me a whole day to understand how to use a correct pattern to match the parameters in the tags…
Then I modified the “math” plugin so that it is much easier and more familiar for us to type LaTeX formulae in the wiki pages: just use $...$ or $$...$$. People who are familiar with LaTeX surely know what they mean.
By the way, Philippe Grosjean has kindly provided me the necessary files for highlighting R code in the Dokuwiki system. That’s really fantastic! See this page for some examples.
So the main infrastructure has been built till now; the next step is to modify my animation package and include more functions which have been in my mind for a long time. Then I will begin to migrate the old web pages in http://R.yihui.name to AniWiki.
I have finished the TOEFL test today and ultimately I can spend enough time on the animation wiki now:
This idea came to my mind the other day; maybe it is quite natural, because what I plan to do is a gallery instead of a limited number of animations. Thus I must choose a way that can interact with other people. The most ideal case, in my mind, would just be a wiki, in which there can be a large amount of different ideas and feedbacks, meanwhile, as I said in the message page, “Many hands make light work”. I really wish people who are interested in animations can create this wiki together with me.
In the next few days, I’ll have to rewrite the JavaScript code in HTML animation pages so that it can be more flexible to be used elsewhere. Besides, the animation functions to create HTML pages will also be revised.
By the way, the old website http://R.yihui.name is to be abandoned as there is too much inconvenience to maintain!
