replacement for the Sidebar module, for all Sidebar users
requiring a cleaner integration of that module with other modules
such as "toc.pl" and "footnotes.pl". This new module also improves
Sidebar customizability by permitting users to place the "Crossbar"
at any position in any page.
* modules/forms.pl (FormsRules): Generalized so as to support both
the Sidebar and Crossbar modules.
* modules/toc.pl (RunMyRulesToc): Generalized so as to support both
the Sidebar and Crossbar modules.
* t/crossbar.t: New test suite, testing the Crossbar module.
significant, typo.
* modules/sidebar.pl: Reverted. I underestimated the scope of
changes needed to bring this module in line with recent, other
changes to the Table of Contents module. The good news is that the
reverted Sidebar module now works as expected for all modules except
the Table of Contents module; of course, the bad news is that the
reverted Sidebar module no longer works for the Table of Contents
module. (Unfortunately, we can't have both, here.) I will be
recommitting my changes to this module as a new module, therefore,
named "modules/crossbar.pl" -- sometime, soon. That new module
will (probably) break backwards compatibility with this module, but
will otherwise behave as expected... with all modules.
* t/sidebar.t: Prevented testing against the Table of Contents
module, as the Sidebar module is now known not to work with that
module.
removing all previous module-specific hacks. However, as it is a
rewrite, it may still have issues. (Fortunately, time is the mother
of invention and bug fixes.)
* modules/toc.pl: Refactored. This is a complete rewrite
removing all previous module-specific hacks. As with "sidebar.pl",
it may still have issues. That said -- I'm relatively proud of it,
and confident that it (should) stand up under rigorous scrutinies,
utilization, and brutalization.
* modules/forms.pl (FormsRule): Slightly revised, so as to comply
with the "sidebar.pl" refactoring.
