There is a Creole parser plugin for the MoinMoin wiki engine.

It is based on the Creole0.1 draft.

There were several issues when writing it:

  • The line breaks are a major pain. Currently I only add them inside paragraphs, and I included a special case that will not add a line break at the end of a paragraph if it is followed by an empty line. The line break is however added if the paragraph is followed by a list or a preformatted block, and I personally don't feel like adding more lookahead special cases.
  • The expression for urls used is an approximation. In particular, commas,dots,exclamation marks and such are included in the url only when not followed by a space, so that you can write http://news.com/article/2006,09,06 as a link, but also see those two pages: http://one.org, http://two.org. Other special characters are included in the url, but escaped when appropriate.
  • I'm a little bit generous when parsing mixed lists. This is valid:
# One
- Two
- Three
# Four

and gets rendered as:

  1. One
  2. Two
  3. Three
  4. Four

How should be such and similar errors handled?


I would say that should be rendered as:

  1. One
  • Two
  • Three
  1. Four

That was the previous result, but it could be abused to get two-level lists by users. The current one is just a kind of trying to fit it, without giving the users additional functionality (which they would instantly abuse, making the pages incompatible with other creole wikis). In the end I will just introduce and additional class for 'error', and will render all such things as 'errors', which then can be rendered with css into something really ugly ;). -- RadomirDopieralski, 2006-09-06
