Maybe we can dream to have TS workflows for beginner. It will be a set
of screens helping people to produce typoscript based on questions/answers.
Example Menu :
Whole Menu
**********
What sort of menu do you want ? static/dynamic(ie TMENU_LAYERS)/rootline
How many levels ? 1/2/3/4/5/6
The position is ? horizontal/vertical
What is the number of your starting page ?
What is the name of the object in TV ?
...
Level 1 (repeated for each level)
*******
Linkable ? Yes / No
What compose your menu level ? Text / Image
Create a whole div around the menu and sublevels ? Yes / No
Is there a specific effect when the menu is active ? Yes / No
Is there an image before ? Yes / No
...
It could have the goal to cover not all the cases but the classic ones
and help people to start "Think Typoscript".
TV is a very good example of what i have in mind : it produces the XML
flexform structure BUT if you need simple things (maybe only the
simpliest things ;)) you don't have to know the XML syntax and semantic.
Hope it may helps,
Jean-Baptiste
