Interesting, didn’t know they had a versioned spec. Any link?
Is version 1.6 in https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/mediawiki/tree/master/mediawiki-syntax
? Shouldn’t we name it mediawiki-syntax-1.6 (or mediawiki-syntax-16)?
I see in the pom:
<artifactId>mediawiki-syntax</artifactId>
<name>MediaWiki - Syntax</name>
<description>MediaWiki Syntax parser</description>
<properties>
<!-- Name to display by the Extension Manager -->
<xwiki.extension.name>MediaWiki Syntax</xwiki.extension.name>
I think we should use 1.6 in all these places to namespace it and make way for future
implementations of other spec versions. WDYT?
The EM should also display “MediaWiki Syntax 1.6” IMO.
What is https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/mediawiki/tree/master/mediawiki-syntax10ov…
?
Hi Thomas,
We'll see. It has much better support than our old parser at least :)

Hi devs,
I just released as a contrib extension a new MediaWiki parser which
covers the old one located on xwiki-rendering (and also fix many
issues that were not even listed). The big change is that the actual
parser is https://bitbucket.org/axelclk/info.bliki.wiki/wiki/Home and
not done by us anymore, we just produce event from the DOM provided by
bliki.
So I propose to get rid of the old one and retire it in contrib organization.
WDYT ?
here is my +1
+1 from me. I just hope that the “bliki” parser has good support for the future.
So right now all the tests that were previously passing are passing with the new parser?
Or is there still work to be done?
Same tests plus much more and Jenkins seems happy with it:
http://jenkins.xwiki.org/job/Contrib%20-%20MediaWiki/.
Will you have a production-ready release before XWiki 8.2 final is released?
The current version is 1.2 and it's probably not perfect but looks
much better than the old one already :)
Does it work to install it as a extension in XWiki 8.2? (I had issues with markdown and I
hope you don’t have similar issues)
bliki does not have much dependencies so no issue here.
Do you plan to make it work with older XWiki versions? (if so you may need to have
special install instructions on e.x.o - maybe it requires removing the mediawiki jars from
web-inf/lib because it uses the same syntax id, etc?)
Depends what you mean by older version. The extension depends on 7.4 right now.
Nothing to remove, as usual it's a new id since it's a completely
different implementation (plus it's not the same syntax for macros so
that would be an important breakage probably). The id of the new
parser is mediawiki/1.6 (the current version of the mediawiki syntax
specs is 1.6 so I used that). For edge cases I also provided another
extension which have the same id than the old one and use the new
parser behind the scene if for some reason you really have to use this
id but want new parser stuff.
This is https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/syntax-mediawiki-1.0 (missing some README ATM)?
Thanks
