Re: [xwiki-devs] How to instruct a wiki parser to render my custom macro ?

Hello devs, I'm working on some project outside XWiki which uses your rendering API. Managed to wire everything and to define my custom macro, wrote some unit tests but when I use another wiki dialect except XWIKI_2_0 (for instance Creole) in the Converter, my macro is not recognized. See sample code below: // Initialize Rendering components and allow getting instances ecm = new EmbeddableComponentManager(); ecm.initialize(this.getClass().getClassLoader()); Converter converter = ecm.lookup(Converter.class); //Register my special custom macros ComponentAnnotationLoader loader = new ComponentAnnotationLoader(); List<ComponentDescriptor> compDescriptors = loader.getComponentsDescriptors(MySpecialMacro.class); ecm.registerComponent(compDescriptors.get(0)); Converter converter = ecm.lookup(Converter.class); WikiPrinter printer = new DefaultWikiPrinter(); // HERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH MY CUSTOM MACRO converter.convert(new StringReader("{{link path='foo'}}"), Syntax.CREOLE_1_0, Syntax.XHTML_1_0, printer); So my problem is that I'd like to instruct the Creole parser or any other parser except XWIKI_2 to correctly parse my custom macro. I might be wrong, but I guess I'll have to implement some new parser to suit my needs. In respect to that I've dug into the Converter class, saw it's instantiation strategy, then followed the story until I've encountered IWikiParser and all its subclasses (XWikiParser, CreoleParser etc ) which I'm unable to find on the repository.

Could you please point me in the right direction? Thank you -- ing. Bogdan Flueras
