One of my New Year's resolutions is to release more code, even if it doesn't meet my quality expectations yet... š

I'm using this hack for some time now...

It's a nodelet hack which automatically transforms my wiki-ish syntax into monk-code on submit.

This is done transparently because after a reload the monk-code in the textarea is translated back to the original wiki syntax.

Please note that you can still safely use and blend PM-markup as long as you use lowercase characters. The automatically transformed code is always uppercase.

The biggest benefit is that paragraphs <P> are automatically included between two newlines...

...but I added some more goodies over the years. (see examples further down.)

To activate this for yourself you just need to include the following code into your free nodelet.

<script src='?abspart=1;displaytype=displaycode;node_id=1153804;part=3'></script>

(UPDATE: Additionally the "Free Nodelet" must be activated at Nodelet Settings)

I hope the mechanism of the code is obvious enough to be adapted to your needs.

---Code---

// create toggle for wiki feature
// document.writeln('<form name="wiki"><input type="checkbox" name="on
+">wiki?</form><br>');

var textarea=get_textarea();
var form_elements = textarea.form.elements;
form_elements[form_elements.length-1].outerHTML += '<span><input type=
+"checkbox" name="wiki_on"> <a href="?node_id=1153804">*Wiki?*</a> </s

The first word in the post can't have the bold/italic/underline formatting. Unless there's a space or empty line before it. If it's an empty line, that line disappears after previewing, and then the formatting stops working. A single space will remain. I don't mean to whine; I like this immensely.

Re^3: Good Intentions: Wikisyntax for the Monastery (ToDo) by LanX (Saint) on Jan 28, 2016 at 15:29 UTC
Yeah I know I got used to adding a space before the first line and after the last. I already mentioned that problem, but ... ... I did'nt want to expand the regexes to other whitespaces for that ATM because that's a PITA to test in different browsers. It might become configurable in the future, but without guaranty whatsoever. Anyway the "bold/italic/underline formatting" isn't that important for me, being able to avoid `<p>` while typing in my mobile is already worth it. ;-) Naming this PM extension a "wiki" might be a misnomer/marketing error though... ;-) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply] [d/l]

I tested as anomonk and the content of the textarea is trimmed from surrounding newlines. maybe it's the monasteries codebase ... maybe a firefox thing. for the time being, please use an extra whitespace.

Actually I've always had in mind that a server side Perl version might be needed and put effort into realizing the logic as a cascade of RegExes. RegExes in JS are 98% based on the Perl4 standard.

Ok before i forget this: it seems that three code elements in a row are not displaying correctly. For example `'one' 'two' 'three'` [download] is displayed as `one` 'two' `three` I was also wondering if you can add punctuation ( `.,:;)(!?` ) as boundary in addition to withespace. I'm using your wiki syntax in every post. thanks L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

Hi Thanks for feedback! =) regarding code sections: Problem is that JS has no lookbehind assertion for regex. In order to keep it simple and compatible I'm grabbing the surrounding white spaces too. If you separate your code by more then one whitespace it works again. `'one' 'two' 'three'` `one` `two` `three` please note how HTML ignores multiple whitespace. (This is a very contrived example anyway don't you think? ;) I could solve this with at least one look ahead assertion, though I'm not sure about incompatibilities. (on todo list now) Please keep in mind that you can still use the old and consistent markup. The wiki stuff is more a mix of DWIM and Huffman coding, not a complete replacement. =) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply] [d/l] [select]

> I was also wondering if you can add punctuation ( .,:;)(!? ) as boundary in addition to withespace. Yes I was thinking about this, but than we need a new mark up for doc links `?print?` `print` Suggestions? update But please be aware that the problem with look around assertions strikes here again.

I think `#` is faster to type but question mark is definitively more related to documentation. I'd go for it. PS sorry i'v a bit misunderstood (question mark yet used for doclinks). `#` as for comments? or `=` as for POD? Also a comprensive cheetsheet will be useful at the end of your OP L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

Hi I just noticed that `<pre>` tags allowed that `<p>` tags were included which is against the meaning of "pre-formatting". pre-blocks are now excluded from any wiki-expansion `<pre> a /b/ # 2 newlines following https://perlmonks.org/ </pre>` [download] displays now as a /b/ # 2 newlines following https://perlmonks.org/ update `<blockquote>` are now also excluded, but that's experimental.

Re^2: Good Intentions: Wikisyntax for the <i>Monastery (pre tag) by LanX (Saint) on Oct 18, 2016 at 13:30 UTC
Rather a feature request, don't you think? Why should pre tags be handled like code tags? ° AFAIR do pre tags never block any other expansion, I wouldn't know why they should. Could you please elaborate? Edit: Please think about how `<pre>a <code>bla</code> b</pre>` [download] is rendered a `bla` b and tell me why the behavior should be different now.

Re: Good Intentions: Wikisyntax for the Monastery (issue: "writeln wiki-toggle") by LanX (Saint) on Feb 13, 2020 at 00:37 UTC
I'm experiencing a new issue in Firefox. The generated HTML tags in the textarea are not translated back to wiki syntax when onLoad fires. A look into the console logs reveals that "A call to document.write() from an asynchronously-loaded external script was ignored". This originates from the creation of the checkbox to switch wikiparser on/off. I will try to bypass that...

Re^2: Good Intentions: Wikisyntax for the Monastery (solved: "writeln wiki-toggle") by LanX (Saint) on Feb 13, 2020 at 01:37 UTC
V1.16.0 I deactivated the `document.writeln` into the "Free Nodelet" and replaced it with an append to `outerHTML` in the form area. The Wiki toggle is now just next to the submit buttons under the textarea. This was on the To-Do list anyway. Works fine in FF, please test in other browsers. :) Update tested in ==== Desktop Firefox/72.0 ==== Mobile Chrome Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Maybe have the `<b>Wiki?</b>` be a link back to Good Intentions: Wikisyntax for the Monastery, in case someone forgets their Wiki syntax from one visit to the next. :-) Also, the syntax accepted by the nodelet hack seems to be split between the spoiler of the original post and a reply (and here for https extension, and probably other posts that I haven't noticed). It makes it rather disjointed to see what's translated by the nodelet hack. It might be nice to have all the currently-valid syntax summarized somewhere in the root post (maybe in a third section alongside code and demo sections) -- or at least update demo with the additional linking options and the features like `<nowiki>` which have been added over time.
