Extended view inheritance

This module was written to make it simple to add custom operators for view inheritance.

Usage

Change a python dictionary (context for example)

<attribute name="$attribute" operation="python_dict" key="$key">
    $new_value
</attribute>

Note that views are subject to evaluation of xmlids anyways, so if you need to refer to some xmlid, say %(xmlid)s.

Move an element in the view

<xpath expr="$xpath" position="move" target="$targetxpath" target_position="$target_position"/>

Availables values for target_position attribute:

inside (default if omitted)
after
before

This can also be used to wrap some element into another, create the new target element first, then move the element you want inside (or before/after) the new element.

Add to values in a list (states for example)

<attribute name="$attribute" operation="list_add">
    $new_value(s)
</attribute>

Remove values from a list (states for example)

<attribute name="$attribute" operation="list_remove">
    $remove_value(s)
</attribute>

Known issues / Roadmap

add <attribute operation="json_dict" key="$key">$value</attribute>
support an eval attribute for our new node types
