+Javascript docstrings
+=====================
+
+Whereas in Python source code we only need to include a module docstrings 
+using the directive `.. automodule:: mypythonmodule`, we will have to 
+explicitely define Javascript modules and functions in the doctrings since
+there is no native directive to include Javascript files.
+
+Rest generation
+---------------
+
+`pyjsrest` is a small utility parsing Javascript doctrings and generating the
+corresponding Restructured file used by Sphinx to generate HTML documentation.
+This script will have the following structure::
+
+  ===========
+  filename.js
+  ===========
+  .. module:: filename.js
+
+We use the `.. module::` directive to register a javascript library
+as a Python module for Sphinx. This provides an entry in the module index.
+
+The contents of the docstring found in the javascript file will be added as is
+following the module declaration. No treatment will be done on the doctring.
+All the documentation structure will be in the docstrings and will comply
+with the following rules.
+
+Docstring structure
+-------------------
+
+Basically we document javascript with RestructuredText docstring
+following the same convention as documenting Python code.
+
+The doctring in Javascript files must be contained in standard 
+Javascript comment signs, starting with `/**` and ending with `*/`,
+such as::
+
+ /**
+  * My comment starts here.
+  * This is the second line prefixed with a `*`.
+  * ...
+  * ...
+  * All the follwing line will be prefixed with a `*` followed by a space.
+  * ...
+  * ...
+  */ 
+
+
+Comments line prefixed by `//` will be ignored. They are reserved for source
+code comments dedicated to developers.
+
+
+Javscript functions docstring
+-----------------------------
+
+By default, the `function` directive describes a module-level function.
+
+`function` directive
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Its purpose is to define the function prototype such as::
+
+    .. function:: loadxhtml(url, data, reqtype, mode) 
+
+If any namespace is used, we should add it in the prototype for now, 
+until we define an appropriate directive.
+::
+    .. function:: jQuery.fn.loadxhtml(url, data, reqtype, mode) 
+
+Function parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We will define function parameters as a bulleted list, where the
+parameter name will be backquoted and followed by its description.
+
+Example of a javascript function docstring::
+
+    .. function:: loadxhtml(url, data, reqtype, mode) 
+
+    cubicweb loadxhtml plugin to make jquery handle xhtml response
+
+    fetches `url` and replaces this's content with the result
+
+    Its arguments are:
+
+    * `url`
+
+    * `mode`, how the replacement should be done (default is 'replace')
+       Possible values are :
+           - 'replace' to replace the node's content with the generated HTML
+           - 'swap' to replace the node itself with the generated HTML
+           - 'append' to append the generated HTML to the node's content
+
+
+Optional parameter specification
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Javascript functions handle arguments not listed in the function signature.
+In the javascript code, they will be flagged using `/* ... */`. In the docstring,
+we flag those optional arguments the same way we would define it in
+Python::
+
+    .. function:: asyncRemoteExec(fname, arg1=None, arg2=None)

+.. _adapters:
+
+Interfaces and Adapters
+-----------------------
+
+Interfaces are the same thing as object-oriented programming
+`interfaces`_. Adapter refers to a well-known `adapter`_ design
+pattern that helps separating concerns in object oriented
+applications.
+
+.. _`interfaces`: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/interface.html
+.. _`adapter`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter_pattern
+
+In |cubicweb| adapters provide logical functionalities
+to entity types. They are introduced in version `3.9`. Before that one
+had to implements Interfaces in entity classes to achieve a similar goal. However,
+hte problem with this approch is that is clutters the entity class's namespace, exposing
+name collision risks with schema attributes/relations or even methods names
+(different interfaces may define the same method with not necessarily the same
+behaviour expected).
+
+Definition of an adapter is quite trivial. An excerpt from cubicweb
+itself (found in :mod:`cubicweb.entities.adapters`):
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+
+    class ITreeAdapter(EntityAdapter):
+        """This adapter has to be overriden to be configured using the
+        tree_relation, child_role and parent_role class attributes to
+        benefit from this default implementation
+        """
+        __regid__ = 'ITree'
+
+        child_role = 'subject'
+        parent_role = 'object'
+
+        def children_rql(self):
+            """returns RQL to get children """
+            return self.entity.cw_related_rql(self.tree_relation, self.parent_role)
+
+The adapter object has ``self.entity`` attribute which represents the
+entity being adapted.
+
+Specializing and binding an adapter
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+  from cubicweb.entities.adapters import ITreeAdapter
+
+  class MyEntityITreeAdapter(ITreeAdapter):
+      __select__ = implements('MyEntity')
+      tree_relation = 'filed_under'
+
+The ITreeAdapter here provides a default implementation. The
+tree_relation class attribute is actually used by this implementation
+to help implement correct behaviour.
+
+Here we provide a specific implementation which will be bound for
+``MyEntity`` entity type (the `adaptee`).
+
+
+Selecting on an adapter
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There is an ``adaptable`` selector which can be used instead of
+``implements``.
+
+.. _interfaces_to_adapters:
+
+Converting code from Interfaces/Mixins to Adapters
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Here we go with a small example. Before:
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    from cubicweb.selectors import implements
+    from cubicweb.interfaces import ITree
+    from cubicweb.mixins import ITreeMixIn
+
+    class MyEntity(ITreeMixIn, AnyEntity):
+        __implements__ = AnyEntity.__implements__ + (ITree,)
+
+
+    class ITreeView(EntityView):
+        __select__ = implements('ITree')
+        def cell_call(self, row, col):
+            entity = self.cw_rset.get_entity(row, col)
+            children = entity.children()
+
+After:
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    from cubicweb.selectors import adaptable, implements
+    from cubicweb.entities.adapters import ITreeAdapter
+
+    class MyEntityITreeAdapter(ITreeAdapter):
+        __select__ = implements('MyEntity')
+
+    class ITreeView(EntityView):
+        __select__ = adaptable('ITree')
+        def cell_call(self, row, col):
+            entity = self.cw_rset.get_entity(row, col)
+            itree = entity.cw_adapt_to('ITree')
+            children = itree.children()
+
+As we can see, the interface/mixin duality disappears and the entity
+class itself is completely freed from these concerns. When you want
+to use the ITree interface of an entity, call its `cw_adapt_to` method
+to get an adapter for this interface, then access to members of the
+interface on the adapter
+
+Let's look at an example where we defined everything ourselves. We
+start from:
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    class IFoo(Interface):
+        def bar(self, *args):
+            raise NotImplementedError
+
+    class MyEntity(AnyEntity):
+        __regid__ = 'MyEntity'
+
+        def bar(self, *args):
+            return sum(captain.age for captain in self.captains)
+
+    class FooView(EntityView):
+       __regid__ = 'mycube.fooview'
+       __select__ = implements('IFoo')
+
+        def cell_call(self, row, col):
+            entity = self.cw_rset.get_entity(row, col)
+            self.w('bar: %s' % entity.bar())
+
+Converting to:
+
+.. sourcecode:: python

+
+The "Click and Edit" (also `reledit`) View
+------------------------------------------
+
+The principal way to update data through the Web UI is through the
+`modify` action on entities, which brings a full form. This is
+described in the :ref:`webform` chapter.
+
+There is however another way to perform piecewise edition of entities
+and relations, using a specific `reledit` (for *relation edition*)
+view from the :mod:`cubicweb.web.views.reledit` module.
+
+This is typically applied from the default Primary View (see
+:ref:`primary_view`) on the attributes and relation section. It makes
+small editions more convenient.
+
+Of course, this can be used customely in any other view. Here come
+some explanation about its capabilities and instructions on the way to
+use it.
+
+Using `reledit`
+***************
+
+Let's start again with a simple example:
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+   class Company(EntityType):
+        name = String(required=True, unique=True)
+        boss = SubjectRelation('Person', cardinality='1*')
+        status = SubjectRelation('File', cardinality='?*', composite='subject')
+
+In some view code we might want to show these attributes/relations and
+allow the user to edit each of them in turn without having to leave
+the current page. We would write code as below:
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+   company.view('reledit', rtype='name', default_value='<name>') # editable name attribute
+   company.view('reledit', rtype='boss') # editable boss relation
+   company.view('reledit', rtype='status') # editable attribute-like relation
+
+If one wanted to edit the company from a boss's point of view, one
+would have to indicate the proper relation's role. By default the role
+is `subject`.
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+   person.view('reledit', rtype='boss', role='object')
+
+Each of these will provide with a different editing widget. The `name`
+attribute will obviously get a text input field. The `boss` relation
+will be edited through a selection box, allowing to pick another
+`Person` as boss. The `status` relation, given that it defines Company
+as a composite entity with one file inside, will provide additional actions
+
+* to `add` a `File` when there is one
+* to `delete` the `File` (if the cardinality allows it)
+
+Moreover, editing the relation or using the `add` action leads to an
+embedded edition/creation form allowing edition of the target entity
+(which is `File` in our example) instead of merely allowing to choose
+amongst existing files.
+
+The `reledit_ctrl` rtag
+***********************
+
+The behaviour of reledited attributes/relations can be finely
+controlled using the reledit_ctrl rtag, defined in
+:mod:`cubicweb.web.uicfg`.
+
+This rtag provides three control variables:
+
+* ``default_value``
+* ``reload``, to specificy if edition of the relation entails a full page
+  reload, which defaults to False
+* ``noedit``, to explicitly inhibit edition
+
+Let's see how to use these controls.
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    from logilab.mtconverter import xml_escape
+    from cubicweb.web.uicfg import reledit_ctrl
+    reledit_ctrl.tag_attribute(('Company', 'name'),
+                               {'reload': lambda x:x.eid,
+                                'default_value': xml_escape(u'<logilab tastes better>')})
+    reledit_ctrl.tag_object_of(('*', 'boss', 'Person'), {'noedit': True})
+
+The `default_value` needs to be an xml escaped unicode string.
+
+The `noedit` attribute is convenient to programmatically disable some
+relation edition on views that apply it systematically (the prime
+example being the primary view). Here we use it to forbid changing the
+`boss` relation from a `Person` side (as it could have unwanted
+effects).
+
+Finally, the `reload` key accepts either a boolean, an eid or an
+unicode string representing an url. If an eid is provided, it will be
+internally transformed into an url. The eid/url case helps when one
+needs to reload and the current url is inappropriate. A common case is
+edition of a key attribute, which is part of the current url. If one
+user changed the Company's name from `lozilab` to `logilab`, reloading
+on http://myapp/company/lozilab would fail. Providing the entity's
+eid, then, forces to reload on something like http://myapp/company/42,
+which always work.

+==========================
+Use Windmill with CubicWeb
+==========================
+
+Windmill_ implements cross browser testing, in-browser recording and playback,
+and functionality for fast accurate debugging and test environment integration.
+
+.. _Windmill: http://www.getwindmill.com/
+
+`Online features list <http://www.getwindmill.com/features>`_ is available.
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Windmill
+--------
+
+You have to install Windmill manually for now. If you're using Debian, there is
+no binary package (`yet <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579109>`_).
+
+The simplest solution is to use a *setuptools/pip* command (for a clean
+environment, take a look to the `virtualenv
+<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`_ project as well)::
+
+    pip install windmill
+    curl -O http://github.com/windmill/windmill/tarball/master
+
+Some install instructions are `available <http://wiki.github.com/windmill/windmill/installing>`_.
+
+Be sure to have the windmill module in your PYTHONPATH afterwards::
+
+    python -c "import windmill"
+
+X dummy
+-------
+
+In order to reduce unecessary system load from your test machines, It's
+recommended to use X dummy server for testing the Unix web clients, you need a
+dummy video X driver (as xserver-xorg-video-dummy package in Debian) coupled
+with a light X server as `Xvfb <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb>`_.
+
+    The dummy driver is a special driver available with the XFree86 DDX. To use
+    the dummy driver, simply substitue it for your normal card driver in the
+    Device section of your xorg.conf configuration file. For example, if you
+    normally uses an ati driver, then you will have a Device section with
+    Driver "ati" to let the X server know that you want it to load and use the
+    ati driver; however, for these conformance tests, you would change that
+    line to Driver "dummy" and remove any other ati specific options from the
+    Device section.
+
+    *From: http://www.x.org/wiki/XorgTesting*
+
+Then, you can run the X server with the following command :
+
+    /usr/bin/X11/Xvfb :1 -ac -screen 0 1280x1024x8 -fbdir /tmp
+
+
+Windmill usage
+==============
+
+Record your use case
+--------------------
+
+- start your instance manually
+- start Windmill_ with url site as last argument (read Usage_ or use *'-h'*
+  option to find required command line arguments)
+- use the record button
+- click on save to obtain python code of your use case
+- copy the content to a new file in a *windmill* directory
+
+.. _Usage: http://wiki.github.com/windmill/windmill/running-tests
+
+If you are using firefox as client, consider the "firebug" option.
+
+You can refine the test by the *loadtest* windmill option:
+
+    windmill -m firebug loadtest=<test_file.py> <instance url>
+
+
+Integrate Windmill tests into CubicWeb
+======================================
+
+Run your tests
+--------------
+
+You can easily run your windmill test suite through `pytest` or :mod:`unittest`.
+You have to copy a *test_windmill.py* file from :mod:`web.test`.
+
+By default, CubicWeb will use **firefox** as the default browser and will try
+to run test instance server on localhost. In the general case, You've no need
+to change anything.
+
+Check the :class:`cubicweb.devtools.cwwindmill.CubicWebServerTC` class for server
+parameters and :class:`cubicweb.devtools.cwwindmill.CubicWebWindmillUseCase` for
+Windmill configuration.
+
+Best practises
+--------------
+
+Don't run another instance on the same port. You risk to silence some
+regressions (test runner will automatically fail in further versions).
+
+Start your use case by using an assert on the expected primary url page.
+Otherwise all your tests could fail without clear explanation of the used
+navigation.
+
+In the same location of the *test_windmill.py*, create a *windmill/* with your
+windmill recorded use cases.
+
+Then, you can launch the test series with::
+
+    % pytest test/test_windmill.py
+
+For instance, you can start CubicWeb framework use tests by::
+
+    % pytest web/test/test_windmill.py
+
+
+Preferences
+===========
+
+A *.windmill/prefs.py* could be used to redefine default configuration values.
+
+.. define CubicWeb preferences in the parent test case instead with a dedicated firefox profile
+
+For managing browser extensions, read `advanced topic chapter
+<http://wiki.github.com/windmill/windmill/advanced-topics>`_.
+
+More configuration examples could be seen in *windmill/conf/global_settings.py*
+as template.

+=========================================
+Refactoring the CSSs with UI properties
+=========================================
+
+Overview
+=========
+
+Managing styles progressively became difficult in CubicWeb. The
+introduction of uiprops is an attempt to fix this problem.
+
+The goal is to make it possible to use variables in our CSSs.
+
+These variables are defined or computed in the uiprops.py python file
+and inserted in the CSS using the Python string interpolation syntax.
+
+A quick example, put in ``uiprops.py``::
+
+  defaultBgColor = '#eee'
+
+and in your css::
+
+  body { background-color: %(defaultBgColor)s; }
+
+
+The good practices are:
+
+- define a variable in uiprops to avoid repetitions in the CSS
+  (colors, borders, fonts, etc.)
+
+- define a variable in uiprops when you need to compute values
+  (compute a color palette, etc.)
+
+The algorithm implemented in CubicWeb is the following:
+
+- read uiprops file while walk up the chain of cube dependencies: if
+  cube myblog depends on cube comment, the variables defined in myblog
+  will have precedence over the ones in comment
+
+- replace the %(varname)s in all the CSSs of all the cubes
+
+Keep in mind that the browser will then interpret the CSSs and apply
+the standard cascading mechanism.
+
+FAQ
+====
+
+- How do I keep the old style?
+
+  Put ``STYLESHEET = [data('cubicweb.old.css')]`` in your uiprops.py
+  file and think about something else.
+
+- What are the changes in cubicweb.css?
+
+  Version 3.9.0 of cubicweb changed the following in the default html
+  markup and css:
+
+  ===============  ==================================
+   old              new
+  ===============  ==================================
+   .navcol          #navColumnLeft, #navColumnRight
+   #contentcol      #contentColumn
+   .footer          #footer
+   .logo	    #logo
+   .simpleMessage   .loginMessage
+   .appMsg	    (styles are removed from css)
+   .searchMessage   (styles are removed from css)
+  ===============  ==================================
+
+  Introduction of the new cubicweb.reset.css based on Eric Meyer's
+  reset css.
+
+  Lots of margin, padding, etc.
