HTML Template Improvements #294

Open simonharrer opened 5 months ago

simonharrer commented 5 months ago

HTML templating needs to be improved.

Extension of additional key/value pairs within an already existing element (currently only supported in the info, terms, server block)
mark custom fields so we can distinguish between custom fields and standard fields
Extension of a whole new top level element that might be nested
better design for the servicelevels
mobile-friendly html support
custom elements can be complex (substructures, arrays, ...)
[ ] The "Show YAML" should use multi-line syntax for multi-line strings.

Important: the templates are imported in the editor (that is not written in python but in JavaScript). During that process, the templates are transformed a little bit. For any change here, we need to make sure that the editor does not break. https://github.com/datacontract/datacontract-editor

Why?

In customer project, when having a lot of extension fields, it might be helpful to see which ones are part of the standard, and which ones are extra fields. But we could postpone this until the desire becomes stronger.
