I think this is one of the bugs with the highest priority, people are using all sorts of hacks to get around it currently: 1. using things like {| {{infobox_args}} ... in tables 2. Just making incorrect links and creating redirects for them 3. Manually creating thumbnails to use as images. Isnt this just the kind of parser in use currently, it is possible to do something like this in the bash shell for example: $ echo $(($((2+2))+1+$(echo 1))) 6 On Thu, 29 Jul 2004 01:21:09 +0200, Gabriel Wicke <lists(a)wikidev.net> wrote:

That tokenizer also handles only a few of [count > 20] passes. I'm currently writing a new parser using BisonGen (builds both a C python module and a pure python parser) that handles the entire parsing in one step. The C version also performs very well (0.014 seconds vs. 0.17 seconds for the pure python version). The output will be a DOM object tree, includes and the like will be handled by manipulating that tree before dumping it as [insert your favourite format here]. Where feasible, this parser also supports the current Moin syntax additional to the MW one, it's intended to work with Moin of course (which has a relatively clean design and profits from the python infrastructure).
