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?
