Markup spec/ANTLR/Images

The following code does a pretty good job of handling images. Obviously all the actual inline text processing and definitions of text are primitive.

Notes:

  • It can handle nested images
  • It can handle links in captions, which don't trouble it at all: [[image:foo.jpg|[[somelink]]]]
  • It recognises all the defined options. Unfortunately it's not quite as flexible as the currentparser in allowing ad hoc definitions like "thumb=$" etc.
  • Its treatment of options is basically, if the text doesn't match *exactly* a specified format (eg, "...|thumb=xxx|", then it's a caption. The following are teated as captions:
    • ...| <anything>
    • ...|thumb |... (possibly too harsh...)
    • ...|thumb =...|
    • ...|thumbn|...
  • It's case insensitive for all "magic word" matches, case sensitive otherwise.

Test cases

edit

These test cases are parsed correctly:

[[image:foo.jpeg|capp|thumbnail|thumbnail=foo.jpg|mythumbnailishot my thumbnail is great|So is this [[image:inline.png|Inline image...]] (not a gif).]]

[[Image:Lung small cell carcinoma (1) by core needle biopsy.jpg|thumb|left|Small cell lung carcinoma (microscopic view of a core needle biopsy)]]

[[Image:Smith_gun_and_limber.JPG|thumb|300px|Smith Gun and limber at [[Fort Nelson, Portsmouth|The Royal Armouries, Fort Nelson]].]]

[[Image:Slovakiatynka.svg|40px]]

[[Image:Saltbox_side_elevation.png|thumb|End elevation of a saltbox house, illustrating the distinctive roof line.]] 

[[Image: Riven Oak Clapboards.jpg|thumb|1683 Riven Oak Clapboards [[Ephraim Hawley House]], [[Trumbull, Connecticut|Trumbull]], [[Fairfield County]], [[Connecticut]].]]
