OverlayParser - butscher/WikidPad GitHub Wiki

This is a demonstration plugin for constructing a wiki language parser based on the default parser which doesn't need permanent updates (but maybe from time to time).

Until now it was only possible to create a copy of the default parser plugin and modify it in the desired way. This meaned that each change in the default parser had to be done to the copied parser as well.

For simple changes (like double brackets for links as this plugin demonstrates) it can be done more comfortable now by giving some redefinitions of definitions in default parser which are used instead of the original ones. If other parts of the default parser change an overlay parser automatically uses these changes without a manual update.

The !OverlayParser works by executing the default parser code in some sort of "guarded" environment. When one of the overlaid identifiers should be set as global variable, the !OverlayParser evaluates the definition from its PAYLOAD and sets this result instead. This allows to redefine e.g. the URL patterns to support more URL protocols.

The plugin works for recent 2.2 and 2.1 versions. For final 2.0 it should work but wasn't tested yet.

This plugin is mainly intended for demonstration purposes. If you want your own, you should rename it and modify WIKI_LANGUAGE_NAME (internal name of new wiki language) and WIKI_HR_LANGUAGE_NAME (human readable name) and of course PAYLOAD.

    API function for "WikiParser" plugins
    Returns a sequence of tuples describing the supported
    insertion keys. Each tuple has the form (intLanguageName, hrLanguageName,

            identify wiki language processed by parser
        hrLanguageName -- human readable language name, unistring
            (TODO: localization)
        parserFactory -- factory function to create parser object(s) fulfilling

        parserIsThreadsafe -- boolean if parser is threadsafe. If not this
            will currently lead to a very inefficient operation
