[pmwiki-users] New ZAP markup module...

[The Editor]

I'm just finishing up a new module for a new markup for ZAP variables
suggested by Pm.  I really like the look of it, but will continue to
maintain both markups {#c } for a while in the same module...  Then
deprecate the old stuff later.

Here's the syntax if anyone has any input:

{(count)}  # of pages in current group (groupheaders, etc excluded)

{(count Group)} # of page in that group

{(thread)}  thread for current group

{(thread Group)} thread for that group

{(captcha)} random # between 10000 and 99999, all instances on same
page = same number

{(captcha #1|#2)} random # between #1 & #2 if not already set on page

{(time)} current timestamp

{(time +|change|fmt)} various options for changing current or other
timestamp and formatting
also takes normal english phrases and can convert to timestamp.  Many options

{(time #|fmt)} returns corresponding day of week or day of month
depending on # and configurable list.  Quite flexible actually.

{(math (2+3) * 7 /4)}  Returns 8.75

{(substr adfsasfdasf,3,4)} Returns sasf.  Can take any other php
command defined in list: default includes
substr,strpos,strtotime,strftime,date,crypt,rand.

Any questions or comments before I release the new module?

Cheers,
Dan

PS.  This module works completely independently of ZAP, and ZAP works
completely independently of it.  It did requiring reworking
(duplicating, really) a couple small functions so neither module calls
functions the other.
