Add English synonyms in the manual to increase googlability
I was searching for info about the [%~ in TT and was googling for things like "template toolkit tilde" but was coming up empty.
This page had the info was looking for, but I couldn't find it via searching.
If instead of
To remove all whitespace including any number of newlines, use the '~' character instead.
it had said, for example,
To remove all whitespace including any number of newlines, use the tilde '~' character instead.
then I bet it would have come up in my search results.
Other examples:
To collapse all whitespace to a single space, use the '=' character.
Say "equals"
you can use '+' to disable any chomping options
Say "plus sign"
splitting paths only on ':' characters that aren't followed by a '/'.
Say "colon" and "slash".
To be clear, I'm saying that both the sign and the English word for the sign should be included.
sounds a good idea @petdance would you like to submit a patch for these changes?
Let me take a look and see what I can do.
Where's the repo for the website?
I think the website is generated from the pods from this repo the sentence you were pointing at for example is here: https://github.com/abw/Template2/blob/master/lib/Template/Manual/Config.pod#L202
We would then have to refresh the website, but this is something else lol
I think this was solved by the PR and this issue can be closed. The change is also live on http://template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/Config.html
