Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] WYSIWYG and parser plans
(was What is wrong with Wikia's WYSIWYG?)
My motivation for attacking the task of creating a
wikitext parser is,
aside from it being an interesting problem, a genuin concern for the
fact that such a large body of data is encoded in such a vaguely
specified format.
Correct: Until you have (at least) two independently written parsers, both
of which pass a test suite 100%, you don't have a *spec*.
Or more to the point, it's unclear whether the spec or the code rules, which
can get nasty.
