Programming languages for Sage cells inside knowls #1347

Open rbeezer opened 4 years ago

rbeezer commented 4 years ago

Sage cells in knowls are not being configured for different (programming) languages, like R, Python, Octave, etc.

Outside of knowls, we have put the language on the Evaluate button. So, we might have button text "Evaluate (Python)".

Can we pass in a list to the knowls code to make multiple configurations, each with its own label text? Items of this list might need to be pairs (with correct syntax!):

[(python, 'Evaluate (Python)'),....]

This is a follow-on from #981.

Passing a list may involve a major change to the knowls code. (Or maybe not: I will investigate.)

A global variable, which is not particularly frowned upon in Javascript (not like in some other languages) could do what you want.

I meant setting a variable, like have now. "Passing" was colloquial, not technical. (Sorry!)

I think it would mean looping over that list, building several "makeSageCell()" calls. (Function name may not be correct.)

@rbeezer Sorry if you already had my ping in #981 , but it seems something is still lacking there. I didn't get an email when I posted in 981, so I figured notification are maybe off on a closed thread.
