property embedding
SMW introduces a new syntactical structure of the form [[property name::property value]], which may optionally be written with a display parameter: [[property name::property value|display text]]. Both of these formats cause the current page to be assigned the value <property name> with the value <property value>. The same value can be assigned to several properties with this syntax: [[property1 name::property2 name::value for both]].
To set a property without displaying anything, there are two alternative forms:
[[property name::property value| ]]- In this form, the space between the "|" and "]]" is required)
{{#set:property name=property value}}- This form allows brackets ("[" and "]") to be used in the property value by default; the other form can only allow it in Text data if
$smwgParserFeatureshas theSMW_PARSER_LINVattribute set. - This form may not work within parser tag extensions (e.g. W3TPL's <hide> tag).
- This form allows brackets ("[" and "]") to be used in the property value by default; the other form can only allow it in Text data if
parser functions
SMW also uses a few standard-form parser functions:
- #ask
- #declare
- #info
- #set
- #set_recurring_event
- #show
See Displaying_information#Display_format for at least some information about formatting values.
formats
- result formats: output of an #ask or #show
- field formats: formatting an individual field in a result
- property types: list of native property types
notes
case-sensitivity
- For MediaWiki deployments where initial characters in article titles are not automatically capitalized (the default is to capitalize them):
- In #ask queries, the word "Category" is case-sensitive;
[[category:...]]will not work.
- In #ask queries, the word "Category" is case-sensitive;
- Where initial characters are automatically capitalized, all property-names will be capitalized, even if they are specified as lower-case.
- Example: If a page contains
[[test thing::sample value]], any queries which make use of "test thing" must refer to it as "Test thing" or the value will not be found.
- Example: If a page contains
- Special properties are also case-sensitive: e.g.
[[Has type:string]]correctly references the special "Has type" property, but[[has type::string]]refers only to a non-special "has type" property.
