Caveats |
|
|
|
------- |
|
|
|
mwparserfromhell generates an abstract syntax tree instead of HTML. |
|
|
|
This has several implications: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An inherent limitation in wikicode prevents us from generating complete parse |
|
|
|
trees in certain cases. For example, the string ``{{echo|''Hello}}, world!''`` |
|
|
|
produces the valid output ``<i>Hello, world!</i>`` in MediaWiki, assuming |
|
|
|
``{{echo}}`` is a template that returns its first parameter. But since |
|
|
|
representing this in mwparserfromhell's node tree would be impossible, we |
|
|
|
compromise by treating the first node (i.e., the template) as plain text, |
|
|
|
parsing only the italics. |
|
|
|
* Crossed constructs like ``{{echo|''Hello}}, world!''`` are not supported, |
|
|
|
since they cannot be represented in the node tree. We compromise by treating |
|
|
|
the first node (i.e. the template) as plain text, parsing only the italics. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The current workaround for cases where you are not interested in text |
|
|
|
formatting is to pass ``skip_style_tags=True`` to ``mwparserfromhell.parse()``. |
|
|
|
This treats ``''`` and ``'''`` like plain text. |

A future version of mwparserfromhell will include multiple parsing modes to get |

|

around this restriction. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
* Templates adjacent to external links e.g. ``http://example.com{{foo}}`` are |
|
|
|
considered part of the link, since mwparserfromhell does not know the |
|
|
|
definition of templates and even if it did the template could only be |
|
|
|
partially part of the link which also couldn't be represented in the AST. |
