Item1457: port EditSyntaxPlugin to foswiki
Priority: Normal
Current State: Closed
Released In:
Target Release: n/a
Applies To: Extension
Component:
Branches:
ported to Foswiki, added
BuildContrib support.
however, i find the result less than satisfying because it uses regex's to do the translation (ugh, not
every problem can be solved with regex's :/ ). furthermore, it turns out that the
MediaWiki syntax doesn't support its table format, and even though i personally hate
MediaWiki's table syntax, i suspect that is the #1 reason most people want this. for that, see
Extensions.MediaWikiTablePlugin.
it would certainly be nice to have Foswiki accept multiple wiki syntaxes as inputs, though
ultimately it won't matter with better editors...
