We are actively discussing how to expose this sort of functionality via the Parsoid API. But it's not strictly required: you can just recursively invoke Parsoid on the template arguments. I'll try to whip up an example of this soon. > I see huge demand for alternative wikignome-style editors.

Similarly, `figure > *:last-child, [typeof~="mw:Image"] > *:last-child` will always capture the caption element (more or less). The structure is actually pretty locked down. (And my mwparserfromhell clone has some image-related helpers to make it even easier.) Part of the problem here is that media-related markup in wikitext is quite fiendishly complicated, with lots of interlocking parts. The presence of one sort of option can completely change the meaning of others. The Parsoid DOM is designed to try to simplify this complexity, rather than directly mirror the wikitext craziness. --scott -- (http://cscott.net) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
