Hi,
We have started to use Myln Wikitekt and FOP to automagically generate some documentation.

We have a mediawiki server that we convert documents from to XSL-FO with Mylyn wikitext and then to PDF using Apache FOP. This is wrapped up on a Hudson build server.

Then I get into some trial and error on different Mediawiki markups that are supported by wikitext.

I have tied to read documentation, but can't find a list of which markups are supported.

Is there such a list?

So far it seems that at least <code>, and [[File:....]] is not supported. Also I have problems with the indent markup ':'.

Having a list will help me understand better what I currently can use and not in my wiki pages.

If a markup is not supported I guess it is a matter of looking into the source code and add a patch for the given markup?

Regards
Per A.

Here's the list:

* headings
* lists (starting with * and #)
* definition lists
* preformatted blocks (lines starting with a space)
* tables
* table of contents (__TOC__)
* <nowiki>
* bold, italic, bolditalic
* HTML tags
* HTML comments
* (tm), (c), (r)
* images ([Image:])
* hyperlinks
* hr via ----
* entity references
* templates when using mediawiki-to-eclipse-help Ant task

You bet, any contributions that you have in this area are very welcome.
The best way to get started is to take a look at
org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.mediawiki.core.MediaWikiLanguage. Also any
new markup support should have corresponding JUnit tests (See
MediaWikiLanguageTest)

Regards,

David
