PmWiki | Test / PageTextVariables

Testing the functionality of page text variables, especially leading and trailing spaces, and construction of variable names

See PageTextVariables, PITS:00880, Test.PageListWithPgVar, Test.PageListOrderingWithPgVar,

Page text variable name with one leading space:
Insect: Weta : Bird: Kiwi (: Tree: Kauri:) "{$:Insect}" "{$:Bird}" "{$:Tree}"	Insect: Weta Bird Kiwi "Weta" "Kiwi" "Kauri"

works incorrectly

Page text variable name with one trailing space:
Flower : Kowhai :Fish : Eel (:River : Waikato:) "{$:Flower}" "{$:Fish}" "{$:River}"	Flower : Kowhai Fish Eel "Kowhai" "Eel" "Waikato"

works incorrectly

Page text variable name with one embedded space:
Flower pot: Ceramic :Fish part: Fin (:River run: Long:) "{$:Flower pot}" "{$:Fish part}" "{$:River run}"	Flower pot: Ceramic Fish part Fin (:River run: Long:) "{$:Flower pot}" "{$:Fish part}" "{$:River run}"

works ok

Numerals in names:
1Way: one way :2Way: two (:3Way: three:) Way4: four :Way5: five (:Way6: six:) "{$:1Way}" "{$:2Way}" "{$:3Way}" "{$:Way4}" "{$:Way5}" "{$:Way6}"	1Way: one way 2Way two Way4: four Way5 five "one way" "two " "three" "four" "five" "six"

works ok

Non Ascii names:
Schrödinger: Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander :Röntgen: Wilhelm Conrad (:Dalén: Nils Gustaf:) "{$:Schrödinger}" "{$:Röntgen}" "{$:Dalén}"	Schrödinger: Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Röntgen Wilhelm Conrad (:Dalén: Nils Gustaf:) "{$:Schrödinger}" "{$:Röntgen}" "{$:Dalén}"

works ok

Recursive page text variable:

Dirac:{$:Dirac}
:Fowler:{$:Fowler}
(:Hellman:{$:Hellman}:)
Tip*tree:{$:Shel*don} %red% - don't try
this, see [[PITS.00915]]

Sheldon:{$:Tiptree}

"{$:Dirac}"
"{$:Fowler}"
"{$:Hellman}"
"{$:Tiptree}"
"{$:Sheldon}"

Dirac:

Fowler

Tip*tree:{$:Shel*don} - don't try this, see PITS.00915

Sheldon:

"" "" "" "" ""

works ok

Page text variable name with link:
[[{$FullName}\|Scientist]]: Rutherford :[[{$FullName}\|Climber]]: Hillary "{$:Scientist}" "{$:Climber}"	Scientist: Rutherford Climber Hillary "" ""

works ok

Page text variable in tables or markup:

||Naturalist: ||Charles Darwin ||
||Zoologist: Alfred Russel Wallace ||
"{$:Naturalist}"
"{$:Zoologist}"

[-Botanist:-] Gregor Mendel
"{$:Botanist}"

EvolutionaryBiologist: Stephen Jay
Gould
"{$:EvolutionaryBiologist}"

PtvTemplate: PTVWithPageList
"{$:PtvTemplate}"

Naturalist:	Charles Darwin
Zoologist: Alfred Russel Wallace

"" ""

Botanist: Gregor Mendel ""

EvolutionaryBiologist ?: Stephen Jay Gould "Stephen Jay Gould"

PtvTemplate: PTVWithPageList "PTVWithPageList"

works as expected, markup defeats PTVs, note odd behaviour with Wiki Links

Formatting breaks page text variables
