Page Meta
VoodooPad has a feature that lets you set arbitrary keys and values on a page, which can then be used later on in script plugins or triggers.
To add meta values for a page, bring up the Palette and select the "Page Meta" tab.
Scripts and Triggers
Meta values are useful when combined with triggers or script plugins. Here is an example of a script plugin that uses a meta value named "todo" given to certain pages. It searches through all the pages in a document, finds the ones with the "todo" meta value set, and inserts those names in the current page.
textView = windowController:textView()
list = "My todo pages list:\n"
for key in objc.values(document:keys()) do
page = document:pageForKey(key)
if (page:metaValueForKey("todo") ~= nil) then
list = list .. page:displayName() .. "\n"
end
end
textView:insertText(list)
