XHTML::MediaWiki - Translate Wiki markup into xhtml

VERSION

Version 0.06

SYNOPSIS

use XHTML::MediaWiki;
my $mediawiki = XHTML::MediaWiki->new();
my $xhtm = $mediawiki->format($text);

DESCRIPTION

http://www.mediawiki.org/ and its sister projects use the PHP Mediawiki to format their pages. This module attempts to duplicate the Mediawiki formatting rules. Those formatting rules can be simple and easy to use, while providing more advanced options for the power user.

Constructors

new

new takes several named parameters:

link_path

link_path is the base url to use.

Methods

reset_counters()

call this method to reset the footnoot counter.

get_block()

If you would like to override the Block objects you can override this meathod.

encode()

You can override the enode function if you would like to change what is encoded. Currently only &, <, and > are encoded.

emphasized()

emphasized controls the output of "<em>" tags.

link()

The link method is often overridden to modify the dispaly and operation of links.

link takes 3 arguments the Link, any extra_text, adn the type of the link;

The type is true for footnotes.

find_links()

The find_links() method is also often overridden in order to change the way links are detected.

template_text

Override this method to control the text that is generated for an unknown template ({{word}}).

format_line

Override this method to extend or modify line level parsing.

format()

The format method is the only method that needs to be called for the normal operation of this object. You call format() with the raw wikitext and it returns the xhtml representation of that wikitext.
