Hi Marius, Thanks for your answer. I've been explorer the XWikiDocument path but I wasn't able to easily extract the parser stuff and ended with almost all XWiki jars in my project build path. My goal is to keep a lightweight approach so I started looking at the XWikiParser classes. As for now I'm able to parse a page and know how many sections are in it. But I need to look at it more closely to be able to retrieve the whole sections contents without redefining every WemListener's methods. IWikiParser parser = new XWikiParser(); parser.parse(new StringReader(page), new EmptyWemListener() { @Override public void beginSection(int docLevel, int headerLevel, WikiParameters params) { System.out.println("section " + docLevel + "-" + headerLevel); System.out.println(params); } @Override public void beginSectionContent(int docLevel, int headerLevel, WikiParameters params) { System.out.println("sectioncontent " + docLevel + "-" + headerLevel); System.out.println(params); } }); If you have tips or advices, they're very welcome.

Hi and thanks a lot ! Your link towards the rendering stuff helped me a lot ! Especially the getting started page (http://rendering.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted). Using this I was able to very quickly grab all JARs I needed and implement something as : // Parse XWiki 2.1 Syntax using a Parser. Parser parser = componentManager.getInstance(Parser.class, Syntax.XWIKI_2_1.toIdString()); XDOM xdom = parser.parse(new StringReader(pageContents)); for (Block block : xdom.getBlocks(new SectionByIdBlockMatcher("MySectionId"), Block.Axes.DESCENDANT)) { // Do my stuff } // Generate XWiki 2.1 Syntax as output for example WikiPrinter printer = new DefaultWikiPrinter(); BlockRenderer renderer = componentManager.getInstance(BlockRenderer.class, Syntax.XWIKI_2_1.toIdString()); renderer.render(xdom, printer); With the following helper BlockMatcher : private class SectionByIdBlockMatcher extends ClassBlockMatcher { private String sectionId; public SectionByIdBlockMatcher(String sectionId) { super(SectionBlock.class); this.sectionId = sectionId; } @Override public boolean match(Block block) { return (super.match(block) && sectionId.equals(getSectionId((SectionBlock)block))); } private String getSectionId(SectionBlock sectionBlock) { return sectionBlock.getHeaderBlock().getId(); } } Now I just have to transform my blocks as I need. Easy stuff !
