Dear all,
Quoting from my previous post,
“Currently the syntax highlighter of the Wikipedia android app seems
to be slow except on high-end devices. It has been proposed to
change the implementation to provide users with a better
(streamlined) experience while editing[1].”
I recently came to know from a reply to that post [2], that wikitext is
not a "regular language"[3]. I wanted to know what kind of language
wikitext is to ensure that the algorithm for syntax highlighting does
the right work. Is wikitext a "Context Free Language" or is it something
else?
