This page is a translated version of the page Wikitext and the translation is 3% complete.

Wikitext is a wiki markup language for creating documents. The current version is explained in Help:Editing (see also Help:گھڙت and Markup spec/DTD ). Wikitext features a mixture of content, markup, macros, and metadata. The content of current and previous revisions of a wiki page is in the database in the text table, generally in the form of wikitext, although some types of pages, such as Wikidata objects, are stored in other content formats.

Developer documentation

  • Specs/wikitext/1.0.0as of August 2016, the URI used by Parsoid to identify the version of Wikitext it is assuming

Implementation

  • PHP Parser – Generated documentation from comments embedded in the source code.

A summary of what the PHP parser is as described on that page: "Processes wiki markup (which uses a more user-friendly syntax, such as "[[ڳنڍڻو]]" for making links), and provides a one-way transformation of that wiki markup it into (X)HTML output / markup (which in turn the browser understands, and can display)."

Testing

We have provided important compatibility information, which helps describe expected behavior for converting wikitext to HTML.

  • Parser tests - Our tests in MediaWiki core contain the authoritative source for Wikitext markup compatibility testing.
  • Parsoid test cases (parserTests.txt on Diffusion)a forked version of the MediaWiki core tests, used by Parsoid. Besides the wt2html mode that the PHP parser supports, Parsoid's parser tests runner also enables several other testing modes not supported by the PHP parser (wt2wt, html2wt, html2html, randomized edits for testing selective serialization, manual edits for controlled testing of serialization). These tests are manually synchronized using scripts in the Parsoid codebase.
