Text::WikiCreole - Convert Wiki Creole 1.0 markup to XHTML
Version 0.02
Text::WikiCreole implements the Wiki Creole markup language, version 1.0, as described at http://www.wikicreole.org. It reads Creole 1.0 markup and returns XHTML.
use Text::WikiCreole; creole_plugin \&myplugin; # register custom plugin parser my $html = creole_parse($creole_text); ...
Self-explanatory. Takes a Creole markup string argument and returns HTML.
Creole 1.0 supports a plugin syntax: << plugin content >> Write a function that receives the text between the <<>> delimiters as $_[0] (and not including the delimiters) and returns the text to be displayed. For example, here is a simple plugin that converts plugin text to uppercase: sub uppercase_plugin { $_[0] =~ s/([a-z])/\u$1/gs; return $_[0]; } creole_plugin \&uppercase_plugin; If you do not register a plugin function, plugin markup will be left as is, including the surrounding << >>.
You may wish to customize [[ links ]], such as to prefix a hostname, port, etc. Write a function, similar to the plugin function, which receives the URL part of the link (with leading and trailing whitespace stripped) as $_[0] and returns the customized link. For example, to prepend "http://my.domain/" to pagename: sub mylink { return "http://my.comain/$_[0]"; return $_[0]; } creole_link \&mylink;
Same purpose as creole_link, but for image URLs. sub myimg { return "http://my.comain/$_[0]"; return $_[0]; } creole_img \&myimg;
You may wish to customize the opening and/or closing tags for the various bits of Creole markup. For example, to assign a CSS class to list items: creole_tag("li", "open", "<li class=myclass>"); Or to see all current tags: print creole_tag(); The tags that may be of interest are: br dd dl dt em h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 hr ilink img inowiki ip li link mono nowiki ol p strong sub sup table td th tr u ul Those should be self-explanatory, except for inowiki (inline nowiki), ilink (bare links, e.g. http://www.cpan.org), and ip (indented paragraph).
Here is a summary of the official Creole 1.0 markup elements. See http://www.wikicreole.org for the full details. Headings: = heading 1 -> <h1>heading 1</h1> == heading 2 -> <h2>heading 2</h2> ... ====== heading 6 -> <h6>heading 6</h6> Various inline markup: ** bold ** -> <strong> bold </strong> // italics // -> <em> italics </em> **// both //** -> <strong><em> both </em></strong> [[ link ]] -> <a href="link">link</a> [[ link | text ]] -> <a href="link">text</a> http://cpan.org -> <a href="http://cpan.org">http://cpan.org</a> line \\ break -> line <br /> break {{img.jpg|alt}} -> <img src="img.jpg" alt="alt"> Lists: * unordered list <ul><li>unordered list</li> * second item <li>second item</li> ## nested ordered -> <ol><li>nested ordered</li> *** uber-nested <ul><li>uber-nested</li></ul> * back to level 1 </ol><li>back to level 1</li></ul> Tables: |= h1 |= h2 -> <table><tr><th>h1</th><th>h2</th></tr> | c1 | c2 <tr><td>c1</td><td>c2</td></tr></table> Nowiki (Preformatted): {{{ <pre> ** not bold ** ** not bold ** escaped HTML: -> escaped HTML: <i> test </i> <i> test </i> }}} <pre> {{{ inline\\also }}} -> <tt>inline\\also</tt> Escape Character: ~** not bold ** -> ** not bold ** tilde: ~~ -> tilde: ~ Paragraphs are separated by other blocks and blank lines. Inline markup can usually be combined, overlapped, etc. List items and plugin text can span lines.
In addition to OFFICIAL MARKUP, Text::WikiCreole also supports the following markup: Plugins: << plugin >> -> whatever you want (see creole_plugin above) Inline: ## monospace ## -> <tt> monospace </tt> ^^ superscript ^^ -> <sup> superscript </sup> ,, subscript ,, -> <sub> subscript </sub> __ underline __ -> <u> underline </u> (TM) -> ™ (R) -> ® (C) -> © ... -> … -- -> – Indented Paragraphs: :this -> <div style="margin-left:2em"><p>this is indented is indented</p> :: more indented <div style="margin-left:2em"><p> more indented</div></div> Definition Lists: ; Title -> <dl><dt>Title</dt> : item 1 : item 2 <dd>item 1</dd><dd>item 2</dd> ; Title 2 : item2a <dt>Title 2</dt><dd>item 2a</dd></dl>

The parsing algorithm is basically the same as (and inspired by) the one in Document::Parser. Document::Parser is OO and is, as such, incompatible with my brain.
