| 5 | = Free form description of the extension = | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Should definitely be more than a plain text but there is several choices for the storing format. Comments associated to extensions also have the same concern. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | == Any provided syntax == | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | * pros | ||
| 12 | ** wiki way | ||
| 13 | ** allow to do well integrated and nicer description more easily | ||
| 14 | ** works whatever the client used to displays it (as long as it as an implementation of XWiki Rendering). i.e. does not have to be a browser. | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | * cons | ||
| 17 | ** less safe. But a white list of macro should probably do it, definitely not allow script macros. | ||
| 18 | ** slower display of the extension description. But not that expensive either since it's not going to be scripts anyway. | ||
| 19 | ** same than when choosing the font in a browser: it's possible the client does not support the syntax used (client with older version of XWiki etc...). | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | == Server side rendered XHTML output == | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | * pros | ||
| 24 | ** safer for the client since there is no transformation (cannot exploit a bug in some macro) | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | * cons | ||
| 27 | ** only work with XWiki Extension Repository | ||
| 28 | ** content bigger and so more things to transfer in client/server communication | ||
