I guess, but I'm not sure it'll ever come up. "Would it be useful to have a library that can convert wikitext to HTML? Yes." Would it be even more useful to have a standalone program, with minimal dependencies, that can convert wikitext to HTML? Hell yeah. Granted, that's only half the problem. The other (and much more difficult) problem is how to convert a *set* of pages (templates and whatnot) into a single chunk of wikitext, which can then be fed into the wikitext to HTML parser. But even without that part it would still be quite useful to have that standalone wikitext to HTML converter. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
