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.
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?

+1 if keeping support for {pre} is not very complicated.

Hi what would be good to do is provide à script that would detect syntax 1.0 docs in a
xem.
I'm pretty sure there is still significant 1.0 code around. Even at XWiki SAS we have
still a lot on our own xem
We could have an option to load it on demand but have that option off by default

This isn't about the xwiki/1.0 syntax, but about the even older wikiwiki
syntax. Here's a summary:
This is =code formatting=
This is *bold formatting*
This is _italic formatting_
This is __bold and italic formatting__
* List item
* but sublists are indented with groups of three spaces
* so this is a third level list item
Links are created by Space.CamelCase words, or just CamelCase words
The xwiki/1.0 rendering engine will remain in place for the moment.

Waooo,
Don't even remember coding this one..
Must have been an initial experiment before downloading radeox and including it.
Sure +1 to remove that code

+1 but there's the risk of introducing errors in our rewritten pre support so we would
need to be careful.
<off thread>
I'd personally like to go further and remove the oldcore xwiki syntax 1.0 part
completely and move it to legacy modules (which means still available for our end users).
List of what would need to be done before we can move it to legacy:
- Some cleanup to use the new velocity module in a few places instead of the old rendering
for interpretText. I can think of templates and translations. There are probably more
places.
- Move our 21 pages from the stats app to xwiki/2.1 syntax
- Move XWiki.OfficeImporter and XWiki.WatchListMessage to xwiki/2.1 syntax
- anything else?

I was using XWiki since 0.9.x and I have never know about this. So +1 if
there is no impact on 1.0 syntax.

Sergiu,
I think this is the first "deprecation removal" I'd be able to give a +1
to!
+1 !
I agree with Vincent that fiddling with {pre} is likely to give bad surprises but, to be
frank, it has never ever been fully understandable to me. So maybe this would be the
occasion!
(the change of velocity from 1.5 to 1.7 is waaaaaaay more radical a change!)
