New functionality to plugins API

Post by jelovirt »

In a previous thread, I asked about the possibility to add new funtionality to plugins:

1. For selection plugin, ability to grow the selection.

There are also few other functionalities that I'l like you to consider:

2. For all plugins, ability to pass name-value/enumeration parameters to plugins using the plugin.xml and preferably also via the preferences. This would allow plugin authors to make a single plugin have more functionality.

3. Introduce XML selection plugin or similar, that would give e.g. DOM Selection access to selected range. The minimum that would fulfill my current requirements would be to give DOM (or equivalent) access to node at caret.

Hello,

We will consider extending the API for Text mode plugins with the possibility to pass parameters in the plugin.xml file or the preferences and getting a DOM tree with the selected nodes of an XML file.


Regards,
Sorin
