Hi all, sorry if this is the wrong list for this type of question.
I'm playing around with writing my own extension, and I would like it
to accept wikitext as input and return HTML (as well as some other
stuff). For example
<extendy>
[[Click me and die]]
</extendy>
Would return an HTML link to the Click_me_and_die page on my wiki.
At the present I am messing around with the docs at
http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/doc/MediaWiki/Parser/Parser.html
and trying to do something like
$output = $parser->transformMsg($input, new ParserOptions())
which is not working, but there could be a illion reasons for that. I
understand too little about php and mediawiki for me to be confident
that I am on the right track.
Basically I have three questions:
1. Is what I'm trying to do supported?
2. Am I looking in completely the wrong place for info of this kind?
3. What is the best source of documentation for simple usages of the
internal API from within extensions.
Naturally I will welcome and comments or suggestions. FYI: I am a
competent Perl hacker but PHP is a bit new for me.
Cheers
Frazer
