Getting rid of the old widget mechanism files finally gives us a payoff
for all the refactoring. Still a bit of tidying up to do, and we need
to re-introduce the animation mechanisms.
Changes to the main layout CSS a few weeks ago meant that the drag
image element was visible at the top left corner of the window.
Astoundingly, the fix is to cover it with another div with the same
background colour as the page….
Get rid of the separate renderContext stack and instead have a parent
pointer on renderer nodes. This lets us walk back up the render tree to
resolve context references
Links are now draggable. Dragging outside the browser will drop the
wiki text of the tiddler. Dragging to another TW5 browser window will
drop the entire tiddler, including fields.
This arrangement takes better advantage of the similarities between the
now deleted widget renderer and the element renderer. It also obviates
the need for wrapper elements around every widget.
This is a half-way through a big refactoring of the parsing and
rendering infrastructure. The main change is to separate the parse and
render trees, which makes the code a lot cleaner. The new parser isn't
yet functional enough to replace the existing parser so for the moment
you have to manually invoke it with `$tw.testNewParser()` in your
browser console. I really ought to use branches for this kind of
thing...
