Hi devs,
Most of the devs know about the new xwiki-rendering engine which provides
the support for the new xwiki/2.x syntaxes, and the old Radeox-based
rendering engine which provides support for the xwiki/1.0 syntax, but I
wonder who knows about the Oro-based wikiwiki engine that provides support
for an even older undocumented wiki syntax? That one has been in the oldcore
sources before I came in contact with XWiki, and it has been disabled for a
very long time.
One thing that we still use from that basic rendering
engine is the support
for {pre}{/pre} code escaping, and that one will have to be preserved even
if we remove all the rest.
+1 if keeping support for {pre} is not very complicated.
Thanks,
Marius
The advantages of removing it include:
- less ancient, unused, buggy code
-- thus slightly less PermGen memory required and faster startup
- one less Oro dependency (a long term goal is to remove Oro and ECS from
our dependencies)
- fewer WTFs from people stumbling over that code
Does anybody know of any users of that syntax? Is anybody still running
0.1.x versions?
