Re: gEDA-dev: Non-text attributes
Hi all,
I hope I am wrong, I do sense some hesitancy here about
continuing the support of "="s within "attribute value".
I suppose it might have to do with the gEDA File format
in which the TEXT object type uses NUM_LINES instead
of delimited by some bracket or quote. I can see some
pain for the parser there. May be some kind of quoting
mechanism can eliminate the pain in parsing.
Current gEDA File format for TEXT object:
T x y color size vis show_name_value angle alignmet NUM_LINES line1 ...
I do hope gEDA will continue the support of "="s
within "attribute value". I think its a very important
feature of an EDA system.
Best Regards,
Paul Tan

Things have just gone insane here, but when I have time I'm going to
post an
RFC with my proposed file-format changes in detail. (It will be very
long).
Basically, new dedicated attribute element in the file format with
separate
name and value fields, to remove ambiguity about whether a text element
should be treated as an attribute or not.
