##Here is what I have so far. It is (somewhat sparely) documented in the comments. The following are defined sub PictureInTable # () Insert a photo into a table. sub PictureInline # () Insert a photo inline. sub TextInTable # () Insert text into a table. sub LinkInTable # () Insert a link into a table. sub LinkInline # () Insert a link inline. sub AnchorInline # () Insert an anchor. I'm offering these to the contributed library.
PictureInTable generates HTML to include a thumbnail picture into a table entry. The thumbnail is the handle to a URL pointer to the full size picture.
TextInTable is a companion function to include text into a table entry. TextInTable is pretty trivial, but is included so that text and picture table entries are handled equivalently.
If a source picture exists for the picture to be included, the included picture will be created if one of two conditions is met: the source is newer, or the included doesn't exist.
The source picture must exist in a subdirectory of "PicSrcLink" relative to where the included picture exists. It is intended that "PicSrcLink" be a symlink to the actual source directory. This way the sources can be very large. And a tar of the web site will get only what the viewer wants. In place of the the large directory of source pictures, there will just be the symlinks.
The thumbnail will be created if the included picture is newer or if the thumbnail doesn't exist.
The picture type of the included picture and the thumbnail is defined by the macro "PictureInTableIncludeType". The picture typeof the source picture is defined by the macro "PictureInTableSourceType". The thumbnail size is defined by the macro "PictureInTableThmbSize". Default values are stored in /usr/local/lib/webc/include/PictureInTable.wh
