Twiddle with config, see the changes in ruleset!

Post by Ambush Commander »

Print Definition is a wild idea I got a while back. The idea was that var_dump() didn't cut it when it came to outputting complex data structures, so why not make a custom routine to output these things?

And then, I decided to put it to practical use: why not allow the user to change the configuration and see instantly how the changes affect the outcome?

What do you think of it? I think it's mad cool :3 (but I could be wrong)

I don't exactly get why we can't just leave it blank instead of having to check "Null/Disabled."

Also, usability nitpick: I love form labels. Form labels make me very happy. I highly suggest adding labels.

It's not ideal, I agree. Null/disabled means no whitelist. Blank means empty whitelist, disallow everything.

Hmm... I'll add labels.

Ah, ok. I haven't used HTMLPurifier yet, so that shot right over my head.

Yay... labels.

Done. Hopefully the docs clarify the usage too.
