Syntaxe pour la configuration des délais pour les dates d'ouverture et de fermeture d'une activité about course-activity-planner

[jdupl]

Syntax modifications

Delimiters

The ; delimiter will be removed from the syntax to allow better user experience.
If the format is harder to read, ; will be optional and ignored by the interpreter.

Case sensitivity

Meeting identifiers (AA field) will be case insensitive for better user experience.

Identifiers

• S Seminar
• P Practica (TP)
• L Labs (homework/assignments ?) Evaluate the significance of L
• E Exams
• Q Moodle Quiz

Variable length

AA section's length will be variable as C12 is AAA

Syntax addition

Assume S

Relative time markers without F or S will be interpreted as S.

Define activity

Older syntax did not take into account how to link the relative planning to an actual activity.

Elements will be separated by white-spaces to allow easier reading by humans and as there is no other use for white-spaces.

"activity identifier" "start of activity" "end of activity"

Example 1

The quiz 2 is opened at the end of seminar 2 of must be completed 30 minutes before seminar 3.

Short hand: Q2 S2F S3-30m

Full syntax: Q2 S2;F S3;S;-30m

Example 2

The homework 1 is opened at the end of seminar 2 of must be completed at 23h59 the day before exam 1.

Short hand: L1 S2F E1-1d@23:59

Full syntax: L1 S2;F E1;S;-1d@23:59

Once the syntax is stable, it could be user-friendly to have a GUI that generates relative dates, much like the definition of Filters in Thunderbird.
