That reminds me that if we move off generic plain-ole-vanilla code tags to syntax highlighting tags like this, there will be a burden on all mods to tag correctly based on what kind of code it is.

This seems like a lot of extra work with little value; and since we are not a blogging site specializing in C# or CSS, for example, it would be too much work to try to heard cats and get each user to use the exact right codes tags for their code.

I'm not sure how to proceed; the main reason I moved down this path was to try to fix the scroll bar issue in the <pre> tags used in our code tags. This problem exists with all of this bbcode, so I am hesitant to jump down the rabbit hole on syntax highlighting at this time.

A higher priority is for me to purchase a new dedicated computer running modern Ubuntu and PHP7 and port the site over to that new site and get off this old hardware and depreciated PHP code.

NAME
Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::TagSpec - Encapsulates tag selectors VERSION
version 0.11 DESCRIPTION
Try and deal with the crazy-sauce tagging mechanism in a sane way. OVERVIEW
Cucumber tags are all sortsa crazy. This appears to be a direct result of trying to shoe-horn the syntax in to something you can use on the command line. Because 'Cucumber' is the name of a gem, application, language, methodology etc etc etc look of disapproval. Here is some further reading on how it's meant to work: <https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Tags>. This is obviously a little insane. Here's how they work here, on a code level: You pass in a list of lists that look like Lisp expressions, with a function: "and", "or", or "not". You can nest these to infinite complexity, but the parser is pretty inefficient, so don't do that. The "not" function accepts only one argument. eg: @important AND @billing: "[and =" 'important', 'billing']> (@billing OR @WIP) AND @important: "[ and =" [ or => 'billing', 'wip' ], 'important' ]> Skipping both @todo and @wip tags: "[ and =" [ not => 'todo' ], [ not => 'wip' ] ]> ATTRIBUTES
tags An arrayref representing a structure like the above. TagSet->new({ tags => [ and => 'green', 'blue', [ or => 'red', 'yellow' ], [ not => 'white' ] ] }) METHODS
filter Filter a list of Scenarios by the value of "tags" my @matched = $tagset->filter( @scenarios ); If "tags" is empty, no filtering is done. perl v5.14.2 2012-05-20 Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::TagSpec(3pm)
