[Wikitech-l] Extensions and unwanted extra transforms

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Moin, I have written a small extension and it is very closely modelled to the sample extension. Basically, it uses $wgParser->setHook() and then returns the text that should be included in the output as HTML. However, for some reasons, the output of my extension is not put straight into the output page. The parser (or whoever :) looks at it, and then checks/transforms it. This creates, IMHO, unec. overhead. For instance I have to remove leading spaces inside style-tages, or otherwise the output becomes garbled. Likewiese, things like <br> are transformed into <br /> (this is harmless, but unec.). How do I stop whatever get's my extension's output and "mangles" it? I want the text from my extension be included verbatim into the page (basically because I trust my extension to return valid HTML - if it doesn't, the extra check/transform from Wikimedia will not help, anyway) Another small question: How would one go and benchmark an extension including the overhead from the wiki? Editing pages via script and measure how long it takes for each submit? Has anybody done this before? Thanx, Tels PS: Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask - I am not very familiar with the /.*wiki.*/ background :) - -- Signed on Fri Mar 11 11:26:03 2005 with key 0x93B84C15.
