Summary: Isolate parser from database dependencies
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: parser
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: hippytr...@gmail.com
Many people need to parse wikitext but due to its nature all attempts at
alternative parsers are incomplete or have failed utterly.
The only parser known to "correctly" parse wikitext is the Parser.php - part of
the MediaWiki source.
But it's not possible to use this parser in your own code or as a standalone
PHP script because it calls the database directly for various things directly
or indirectly, such as parser options which may depend on a user, and the
localisation cache.
It would be a good thing if it were possible for third parties, or even unit
tests to be able to use the genuine MediaWiki parser without the need for a
MdiaWiki install and database import.
It should be possible to pass a string literal to the parser and get HTML back.
