Details
edit- $editor: EditPage instance
- $content: Content object for the text field from the edit page
- &$previewHTML: Out-parameter for the text to be placed into the page for the preview, initialized with an empty string
- &$parserOutput: Out-parameter for the ParserOutput object for the preview, initialized with null
Return true to continue with the normal page preview, or false to use the values set in &$previewHTML and &$parserOutput.
Purpose
editThis hook is called at the beginning of getPreviewText() when the page is being previewed during &action=edit. This can be used to replace the normal edit preview by setting the HTML to be output as the preview into &$previewHTML and the ParserOutput object into &$parserOutput, and then returning false.
Note that $editor->previewTextAfterContent is not automatically appended to &$previewHTML; the hook function must do this itself if this is should be included.
