Description

Author: z.pekar

Description:
Defining properties by functions, for example Triangle's square (something like that):

[[Height::1..3]]
[[Length::4..6]]
[[Square::0.5*Height*Length; 3]] where 3 is amount of values(/points) that should be generated from the intervals provided by arguments (in this case for Height - 1,2,3 and for Length - 4,5,6). If there were 5 instead of 3, the arguments were: Height - 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3; and for Length - 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6.

This should mean smth. like this:

[[Height::1;2;3]]
[[Length::4;5;6]]
[[Square::2;5;9]]

Now following queries should find this page (among others):

[[Square::2]]

[[Square::5]]

[[Height::2]]

[[Square::9]]
[[Height::3]]
[[Length::6]]

While these queries shouldn't:

[[Square::17]]

[[Square::5]]

[[Height::3]]

[[Square::9]]
[[Height::3]]
[[Length::5]]

This is clearly beyond the intended functionality of SMW. Such a feature could possibly be realised by means of templates with ParserFunctions, or by a completely new MediaWiki extension. But it is not a kind of feature that SMW provides.
