[16:22] <jvrbanac> mhall119, quick question, in general, how much do you want to push to the views opposed to the models before it gets pushed into the database. Last night, I pushed in that quick change to deal with the line breaks within the doc string, but I did it before it was stored in the database. However, I wasn't sure how much you wanted to manipulate the content going into the db.
[16:24] <mhall119> jvrbanac: in general, I'd like to disturb the data as little as possible between the GIR and the database
[16:25] <mhall119> unless there's a good benefit to doing so
[16:25] <jvrbanac> Got it. You want me to move that code into the view then?
[16:26] <mhall119> what change are you making?
[16:28] <jvrbanac> It was that linebreak clean up and replacement that I pushed up last night. I think it was merged into that pull that you merged into this master this morning.
[16:29] <mhall119> oh, I didn't notice it, let me go back and look at it
[16:30] <mhall119> jvrbanac: so I've been thinking about what to do with these docs
[16:30] <mhall119> being in docbook is kind of a pain for embedding them within a page
[16:30] <mhall119> also, if we're going to support Qt APIs and others, we can'd depend on them all being the same markup
[16:31] <mhall119> I'm wondering if we should run an XML translation on the GIR docbook text, and convert it to something like Markdown
[16:33] <jvrbanac> That would certainly make things easier on the rendering side.
[16:34] <mhall119> I haven't found any simple python docbook library though, so we may have to work with the XML directly
[16:35] <jvrbanac> ehh, it shouldn't be too hard... famous last words.
[16:42] <mhall119> heh
[16:48] <jvrbanac> mhall119, do you want me to put together a util to do that conversion or do you want to wait and mess with it later?
[16:55] <mhall119> jvrbanac: if you can do that, it would certainly make everything else easier
[16:58] <jvrbanac> mhall119, sure. I have written a few proprietary xml format readers for my day job over the past few years. Never in python, but it shouldn't be too much different.
[22:12] <mterry> nope
