[[:experimental]]

===== Description =====

With this plugin the [[:syntax]] of [[:DokuWiki]] is extended to allow Side Notes. The syntax to use this plugin is:

<side>This is my centered note </side>
 <side left>This is my left sided note </side>
 <side right>This is my right sided note </side>

Personally, I use it mainly to add a caption at the bottom of images:

<side left>{{someimage.gif|image desc}}\\ Here is my Caption</side>

example:

===== Style =====

To make it work you will need also to add some rules into your template's CSS file [for the default template this file would be ''/lib/tpl/default/design.css'']. You may modify the style of the side note to fit your needs.

<code css>
 .sideboth, .sideleft, .sideright {
 border: 1px solid;
 float:left;
 clear: both;
 text-align: center;
 }

.sideboth {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
  }

.sideright {
 float:right;
 }
</code>

===== Plugin =====

Put the following PHP file in ''/lib/plugins/sidenote/syntax.php''.

<code php syntax.php>

===== Comments =====
> For efficiency, I would think you can simplify the entry pattern, to a single <code><side.*?>(?=.*</side>)</code> on the basis that anyone using ''%%<side%%'' in their markup is trying to use this plugin. In the handler you would then recognize ''right'' & ''left'' and treat anything else as ''%%<side>%%'' as you do now. I don't know the cost in performance of each additional pattern, however, pattern searching is normally an expensive process and attempting to reduce the number of searches is normally good. The side effect, grabbing all uses of ''%%<side.*?>%%'' doesn't seem to bad to me. \\ // [[chris@jalakai.co.uk|ChrisS]] 2005-Jul-14//

I disagree --- a better pattern would be ''%%<side(?:\s+[^\r\n>]+)?>(?=.*</side>)%%''. This would allow the plugin to catch ''%%<note>%%'', ''%%<note left>%%'', or ''%%<note gobble-de-gook>%%'', but allow another plugin to catch, say, ''%%<sideways>%%''.

>This plugin slightly breaks the <nowiki>\\</nowiki> line breaker when entering sidenote text. If you use the doubleslashes it throws a full empty line between paragraphs. You are forced to use if you don't want messy spacing between lines. Is it possible to change this plugin so you can set a fixed column width in the tag, and the sidenote will autowrap with you manually needing to enter line breaks?

>I've made a few changes in my copy.
> - Type is now back to 'container' in the function getType(). This better suits the plugin.
> - The PType is now 'normal'. I couldn't get the output to validate otherwise.
> - The entry pattern is the one given in reply to ChrisS's regex.
> - In the functions render() and handle I removed the //if{}else if{}else{}// statements and replaced them with switches. It's just neater that way.
> - In the function handle() I replaced: <code php>
if (preg_match('/left/', $match)>0) {
 return array('',$state,'left');
} else if (preg_match('/right/', $match)>0) {
 return array('',$state,'right');
} else {
 return array('',$state,'');
}
</code> with <code php>
preg_match('/<side\s*([^\r\n>]+)>/',$match, $matches);
return array('',$state,$matches[1]);
</code> It's faster and cleaner.
> 
> - Added 'protected' as an allowedmode so that I could include HTML within the side block.
> - A few cosmetic changes to the CSS so that the background was a solid color and there was a bit of padding & margin.
