-- ft.markdown: 

Owner: Arpita, Sourabh

- [`datetime` type](/ftd/~/27/)
- match on or-type
- optional variable is not added to ftd_data in HTML
- optional integer variable cannot be passed as reference to ftd.integer
- [allow `$processor$` on component](/ftd/~/128/)
- allow `$processor$` on record (CR is almost duplicate of component one)
- [position simplification](/ftd/~/114/)
- recursion check
- `$MOUSE-IN`
  - semantics: only for the node its applied on
  - should also be externally available


-- ft.h1: Post First Release

- [ftd-markup](/fifthtry/ftd/~/9/)
- [json constructor](/ftd/~/122/)
- [data only functions](/fifthtry/ftd/~/80/)
- [URL Resolver](/ftd/~/118/)
- p1: [`>` based caption/header continuation](/ftd/~/104/)
- remaining [conditional attributes](/ftd/~/7/)
  - text
- `if` on external children
- [`ftd.menu`](/ftd~101/menu/) (mostly not needed after position and anchor thing)
- [p1::`structured header`](/ftd/~/107/)
- issue: multiple fields with type `caption` allowed (should not be)
- [better error handling](/ftd/~/10/)
- [clean external api](/ftd/~/108/)


-- ft.h1: FTD tutorial roadmap

The idea is to create a list of tutorials to show all the possible ui/layout
that can be created throught ftd.

- How to create a responsive component in ftd?
- How to create a sticky header in ftd?
- How to create a fixed left sidebar in ftd?
- How to create a static website in 30 mins in ftd?
- Basic layouts in ftd.


-- ft.h1: others

- [container header](/ftd/~/116/)
- color, align etc types (to act as type hint or doc)
- [enum](/ftd/~/33/)
- [auto variables: `@child-index` and `@sibling-count`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/73/)
- [auto variables: `first, last, odd, even`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/102/)
- issue: [padding issue](/fifthtry/ftd/~/68/)
- [higher order variable: `integer variable`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/75/)
- [loop variable](/fifthtry/ftd/~/22/)
- [argument with default value: on record/or-type](/fifthtry/ftd/~/15/)
- [ref x -> { x }](/fifthtry/ftd/~/37/)? (no longer doing it, `#x` is better)
- implement markdown, code highlighting, katex etc using `$processor$`?
- [test improvements](/fifthtry/ftd/~/29/)
- [`ftd.grid`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/97/)


-- ft.h1: implemented but not yet documented

- [`message-host` event handler](/ftd/~/127/)
- support basic types in `from_json_row_`
- [`ui` as a type](/ftd/~/112/)
- backward incompatible: [unified component/variable syntax](/ftd/~/115/)
- viewport based length (`width: vh 40` etc)
- backwards incompatible: [`ftd.text` vs `ftd.text-block`](/ftd/~/113/)
- `$lool$: $foo as $o` instead of `.. $foo as o`
- `google-font-url`
- [everything is `$foo` (against `ftd-0.2` branch)](/ftd/~/105/)
- remove `ftd.comic`
- [`@mouse-in`: special variable](/fifthtry/ftd/~/57/)
- `#foo` global variables (remove `ref`) (and `import: f; #f.foo` not `f.#foo`)
  - `ftd.boolean`'s value is not changing correctly when variable changes
  - `ftd.boolean` should accept value in caption
- `async` rendering (`import` and `$processor$`)
- `line-clamp`
- enhancement: [open container with children should be closed](/fifthtry/ftd/~/69/)
- action: [set value/ref](/fifthtry/ftd/~/67/)
- [`inherit` type not working](/fifthtry/ftd/~/71/)
- [absolute positioning](/fifthtry/ftd/~/100/)
- `ftd.scene`
- `list is empty` | `list is not empty`
- sub-section level container management
- [`evt.stopPropagation()`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/91/)
- action: [increment / decrement integer](/fifthtry/ftd/~/65/)
- `ftd.integer`/`.decimal`/`.boolean` should also accept value as `caption`.
- [`/-` comments](/fifthtry/ftd/~/38/)
- implement `cursor`
- if `$on-click$` is set, use `pointer` as default cursor
- [`if` on var-overwrite/list-append](/fifthtry/ftd/~/35/)
- [intra page link](/fifthtry/ftd/~/86/)
- move-{up, down, left, right}
- example: how to create nested toc with expand collapse behaviour
- example: how to show a dialog when a button is clicked (click outside)
- example: image carousal (show a series of images, changing when next/prev are clicked)
- example: basic counter (increment / decrement)
- example: tab ui


-- ft.h1: open design issues

things on which we do not have a clarity on how things should work.

- [font handling](/fifthtry/ftd/~/6/)


-- ft.h1: bugs and minor enhancements

- [line-height does not work when text is in body](/fifthtry/ftd/~/74/)
- row with single line text and block element do not render correctly
- how to pass more than one multi-line parameters when calling a component


-- ft.h1: examples/tutorials

- show current time
- hamburger based UI and mobile/desktop optimised ui


-- ft.h1: basic syntax

- object header eg `border: { top: 20 }`
- object merge `{ top: 0, left: 0 }`
- [`$end$` header](/fifthtry/ftd/~/20/)
- [`if` -> `$if$`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/26/) (not sure)
- [`$deprecate$`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/34/)
- [`-- import: foo as _`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/44/)


-- ft.h1: event handling

- [action: cycle](/fifthtry/ftd/~/66/)
- action: input -> variable data binding
- [in-equality expression](/fifthtry/ftd/~/36/)
- `$on-escape$`


-- ft.h1: ui

- oembed
- off tree container management?
- canvas or graphics (rectangle, circle, line, arrow etc primitives)
- [contrast preserving color calculator](/ftd/~/61/)
- `line: true` (on `ftd.text` to decide if content is one word or line, eg button
  text, or paragraph)
  - if `line: true` and body contains multi para, show error


-- ft.h1: data modelling

- `-- <list-name>: ref x` to add `x` to `<list-name>` if type matches (and no
  other header or body passed).
- `if` on list append
- [`$loop$` over `list`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/28/)
- partial record update (`$overwrite$`)
- [named-list](/fifthtry/ftd/~/40/)
- [caption only record field](/fifthtry/ftd/~/51/)
- [create string from int](/fifthtry/ftd/~/49/)
- expressions
  - list: more than | less than
- [generic types](/fifthtry/ftd/~/79/)
- [if for `or-type`](/fifthtry/ftd/~/81/)
- builtin-processors: json/yml


-- ft.h1: misc

- chrome based screenshot
- native rendering
- TUI etc based rendering ftd to ansi terminal
- ftd to pdf generator (ftd 2 [rml](https://www.reportlab.com/docs/rml2pdf-userguide.pdf)?)
