While the MediaWiki parser generates HTML, mwparserfromhell acts as an interface to |

the source code. mwparserfromhell therefore is unaware of template definitions since |

if it would substitute templates with their output you could no longer change the templates. |

* Start and end tags generated by templates aren't recognized e.g. ``<b>foobar{{bold-end}}``. |

* Templates adjacent to external links e.g. ``http://example.com{{foo}}`` are |

formatting is to pass ``skip_style_tags=True`` to ``mwparserfromhell.parse()``. |

------------------------- |

* `word-ending links`_ are not supported since the linktrail rules are language-specific. |

links are treated as regular wikilinks. |

* Anything that looks like an XML tag is parsed as a tag since, |

the available tags are extension-dependent. |
