text ui

From twext

Jump to: navigation, search

text is simple text ui to manage twext.. interface is simple: it's just a text file.. may work online with putty etc but i don't know if so in utf-8.. anyway the idea is option to manage twext just with text

TITLE.ON.LINE.ONE..ENGLISH.espanol..

If         si   
you        tu
can        puedes
write      escribir
text       texto
           
with       con
two        dos
languages  lenguajes
           
in         en
one        un solo
text file  archivo texto
           
           
you can    puedes
now        ahora
get twext  twextearte

we've got software that can read above text and write twext.. we need a real simple xcroller to find and edit this text..

use case scenarios?

  1. user with limited internet connect
  2. write twext from email
  3. armageddon
  4. uploading

many titles can even fit on one single text file could be useful to email verify twext input?

TITLE ONE..ESPANOL.english..

texto    text
muy      very
cortito  short
 

TITLE TWO..ENGLISH.espanol..

even     aun
shorter  mas corto

can regionalize

TITLE.TWO..MXES.enam..

as a number

001..4234..080730.120734.txt

so a dodo reader would look for two dots at end of line (two dots at end of line illegal on twxt column).. so finding ".." at end of line reliably means "new title" and expect "TEXTtwxt" language id on next line, closed with the two dots.. the reader can then add dodo titles with timestamp to the dodo.twext server

TITLE.ONE..ESPANOL.english..080730.082432.txt
texto    text
muy      very
cortito  short

or something like that.. yes it's easier to edit in better xcroll ui, but not required.. and easier to manage slop from a real ui, but if simplest text ui works and you can type the languages right (or software can accurately guess) then any language is possible to get twext, without fancy ui complexity
