Alex Jones	Tuesday 27 April 2004 11:52:36 am If you want to show the curly braces in an image generated via <i>texttoimage</i> make sure to not use the wash operator at the same time as it will cause all sorts of problems. For example this code will work: {concat('{ ', $node_name, ' }')\|texttoimage( 'nav_header' )} This will not: {concat('{ ', $node_name, ' }')\|wash\|texttoimage( 'nav_header' )} nor will {concat('{literal}{{/literal} ', $node_name, ' {literal}}{/literal}')\|wash\|texttoimage( 'nav_header' )} Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>

I ran into a few more problems, but I eventually solved the problem using a variable: {set-block scope=global variable=specialhead}{literal}{{/literal} {$node_name\|wash} {literal}}{/literal}{/set-block} <h1>{$specialhead\|texttoimage( 'nav_header' )}</h1> {/let} Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Bjørn Kaarstein	Tuesday 27 April 2004 1:16:05 pm Hi Alex. Is there any particular reason why you use the \|texttomimage operator on your header? I've never used it myself, and new ideas are always welcome! Regards Bjørn
Alex Jones	Tuesday 27 April 2004 1:28:33 pm Actually, the fact that it was within a header tag was a mistake. ;) I had begun to tinker with the header and just forgot to drop the the header tags when I shifted to using <i>texttoimage</i>. I've begun playing with <i>texttoimage</i> for some menus which I would like to use a specific font that is not installed on most machines. So, my use is purely design-oriented. Though at the moment the system is confusing me no end, so who knows if I'll end up using it. :( Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
