Subject: gui: Implement descriptive tree items.
X-Git-Url: http://git.tuebingen.mpg.de/?p=gsu.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fheads%2Fpu

gui: Implement descriptive tree items.

A restriction of the current gui module is that the text shown in the
menu items must also be a valid identifier for the corresponding bash
function. In particular no whitespace is allowed there.

To overcome this restriction we introduce the concept of a menu item
identifier and an optional menu item description. If the description
is absent, the identifier is used as the description, providing
backward compatibility.

-internal nodes. Note that these are written with a trailing slash
-character while the leaf nodes have no slash at the end. All entries
-of the menu tree must be indented by tab characters.
+Each line of the menu tree consists of an identifier, suffixed with an
+optional slash, and a description. The identifier becomes part of the
+name of a bash function and should only contain alphabetic characters
+and underscores. The description becomes the text shown as the menu
+item. Identifiers suffixed with a slash are regarded as internal nodes
+which represent submenus. In the above tree, `hardware/`, `storage/`
+and `log/` are internal nodes. All entries of the menu tree must be
+properly indented by tab characters.
