Hi David,

for displaying data from a database table using its key with a tag, say,
<data key="">, what's the best way to extend WikiText?

Thanks!

Yau.

Yau, if you're using the Textile markup language then all XML tags are
passed through to the HTML output. You could therefore do a two-pass
rendering of the markup. The first pass would transform the markup to
XHTML with embedded XML tags. The second pass would use the XML tags to
process the database content.

Alternatively you could extend a markup language such as Textile to
include your own proprietary tags.

Another option would be to use some other technology such as Facelets
and JSF to render a page with logic and data, and have a custom Facelet
tag handler or JSF tag process regions of text with the WikiText markup
parser.

The best approach really depends on what you're trying to do.

Hello David,

thank you for this hint, but this doesn't seem to be my problem. Inside
my IDE I created a Project and a file "test.textile". I can edit this
file and the SourceViewer is great, but the preview tab doesn't work.

Now I decided to test inside a clean new installtion. I downloaded
eclipse-SDK-3.4.1-win32 (the classic version) and added the 3 Mylyn
UpdateSites
..../e3.4
..../extras
..../incubators
to the available sites and installed the WikiText plugin.

And ... it's working fine (SourceViewer && Preview Tab)

I'll trie a --clean with my IDE tomorrow.

Best regards

Tobi

Sounds like you resolved the issue. If the problem occurs again please
file a bug.
