This is the transcript for the DocServer Lookup v7 demo video:#
With Drummer, the entire web is your data. You can transform it to your needs. #
We do this by writing little bits of Drumkit. Here's something I made to help me look things up in DocServer. #
Let's take a look at the code and see what it does. Drummer lets me focus on just the parts I need. #
We get the selected text, we clean it, we extract a Drumkit verb, and insert the docs as a comment.#
Here's how it works: Drummer fetches the docs from over the internet, and puts them right where I need them. You can copy–paste the examples. Or collapse, or delete, the whole thing.#
Down here is where I keep my functions. I use things like bold, italics, and indentation, to make them easier for me to see and work with. Here's the one that gets the selected text. Not much code there at all.#
In Drummer, the outline is not just your code. Or your document. It's also your user interface. #
You don't have to use Drummer like this. You can use it however you want. #
I'm quite pleased with myself. I added a question mark to Drummer's icon bar. #
I use it to look up documentation about how Drumkit verbs work. #
It uses the same opml file as DocServer, but I find this to be more convenient. #
The docs get inserted as a comment below the current node. You can collapse it, delete it, or move it somewhere else. You can copy��paste the syntax or examples. Some Drumkit verbs, such as opml.parse, contain extensive example data in their documentation. Sections like this are automatically collapsed. #
This is a snapshot of work in progress, of course. So many things need improving. But I am having a blast.#
