Version 3 of Report (Wub)

Wub utility for … reports, presumably.

CMcC no. a general utility for generating HTML tables which happens to be distributed along with Wub - now you can get it directly. Yay.

(The paragraphs CMcC originally posted on the wiki was the same, links and everything, as for color (Wub).)

CMcC That was an oversight.

I moved it back to Report, adding some verbiage as to what the original content described (a tcllib utility) and disambiguating the Wub analogue by using the word also.

FWIW:

  • I don't think category suffixes in titles by means of trailing parentheses is good form.
  • I also don't think splitting pages so each page can be neatly categorised is necessarily a good thing.

Lars H: OK, then — it seems I'll have to spell this out.

(It would perhaps have been slightly more in tradition to use the author's surname than "Wub", but that was the first thing that came to my mind.)
  • This practice has nothing to do with categorizing pages — on the contrary, many such pairs of pages belong to the same sets of categories. The reason for having several pages is instead the need to keep the topics apart! Had a single page been used to discuss both mysql binding (Smith) and mysql binding (Klaren) then little but confusion would follow, as they probably weren't interchangable.

Tcllib's report and report (Wub) obviously aren't interchangable, but how would you expect people to keep their respective advices apart if you insist on keeping both on the same page? There's little problem as long as one is just a "there's also" note, but presumably you expect more to follow.
