RE: [PHP-DOC] Contractions in the English PHP Documentation and supporting scripts/files.

The only reason I said about the contractions is that the patch done by Horst removed one. Not sure why. As for the regex, I can see nothing wrong with it! preg_match("!^(.+)<hr>!s", $content, $_index1); This says capture everything in from the beginning of the text to just in front of <hr>. Easy. But no output! This is the current code ... // Make the old index look somewhat better function newIndex ($content) { global $HTML_TARGET; // Get contents we need to build the _index.html file preg_match("!^(.+)<hr>!s", $content, $_index1); preg_match("!</div></div>(<a id=\"user_notes\">.+</html>)!s", $content, $_index2); // Write out the two components to form a complete file $fp = fopen("$HTML_TARGET/_index.html", "w"); fwrite($fp, $_index1[1] . $_index2[1]); fclose($fp); ... } I'm using ... // Make the old index look somewhat better function newIndex ($content) { global $HTML_TARGET; file_put_contents('/captured_content.html', 'Captured at ' . date('r') . "\n$content\n\n", FILE_APPEND); // Get contents we need to build the _index.html file preg_match("!^(.+)<hr>!s", $content, $_index1); preg_match("!</div></div>(<a id=\"user_notes\">.+</html>)!s", $content, $_index2); file_put_contents('/captured_content.html', var_export($_index1, True) . "\n" . var_export($index_2, True) , FILE_APPEND); // Write out the two components to form a complete file $fp = fopen("$HTML_TARGET/_index.html", "w"); fwrite($fp, $_index1[1] . $_index2[1]); fclose($fp); ... } To capture the $content and the output of $index_1 and $index_2. I'm doing a complete rebuild, so will take a couple of hours to get the file out.

No way!!!! We cannot start breaking translators' work. Anyway, what's the problem with contractions? When I studied English (British) I learned that contractions weren't so formal, but they aren't wrong per se. Any English native speaker correct me if I'm wrong. But thanks for your offer, Richard. Nuno P.S.: offtopic: Richard: I cannot fix your bug with xchm manual because my laptop got broken, unless you can send me the index.html file before processing by the scripts, so that I can try to tune the regex. ----- Original Message ----- > OOI, should all contractions be removed? > > I did a quick check on the entire phpdoc/en directory. > > Looking for aren't, can't, shouldn't, won't and wouldn't. > > Found 167 occurrences. > > Increased that to the entire phpdoc directory and got 362. > > I can easily correct the phpdoc/en ones and provide a patch. > > Should I? > > And what about the other files > > Regards, > > Richard Quadling. > > > Horst Schirmeier wrote: >> - and what the returned value may look like.
