NAME CGI::Wiki::Formatter::UseMod - UseModWiki-style formatting for CGI::Wiki DESCRIPTION A formatter backend for CGI::Wiki that supports UseMod-style formatting. SYNOPSIS use CGI::Wiki::Formatter::UseMod; # Instantiate - see below for parameter details. my $formatter = CGI::Wiki::Formatter::UseMod->new( %config ); # Format some text. my $cooked = $formatter->format($raw); # Find out which other nodes that text would link to. my @links_to = $formatter->find_internal_links($raw); METHODS new my $formatter = CGI::Wiki::Formatter::UseMod->new( extended_links => 0, # $FreeLinks implicit_links => 1, # $WikiLinks force_ucfirst_nodes => 1, # $FreeUpper use_headings => 1, # $UseHeadings allowed_tags => [qw(b i)], # defaults to none macros => {}, node_prefix => 'wiki.pl?', edit_prefix => 'wiki.pl?action=edit&id=', munge_urls => 0, ); Parameters will default to the values shown above (apart from "allowed_tags", which defaults to allowing no tags). URL munging If you set "munge_urls" to true, then your URLs will be more user-friendly, for example http://example.com/wiki.cgi?Mailing_List_Managers rather than http://example.com/wiki.cgi?Mailing%20List%20Managers The former behaviour is the actual UseMod behaviour, but requires a little fiddling about in your code (see "node_name_to_node_param"), so the default is to not munge URLs. Macros Be aware that macros are processed *after* filtering out disallowed HTML tags. They are also not called in any particular order. The keys of macros should be either regexes or strings. The values can be strings, or, if the corresponding key is a regex, can be coderefs. The coderef will be called with the first nine substrings captured by the regex as arguments. I would like to call it with all captured substrings but apparently this is complicated. Macro examples: macros => { '@SEARCHBOX' => qq(
), qr/\@INDEX\s+\[Category\s+([^\]]+)]/ => sub { return "{an index of things in category $_[0]}" } } format my $html = $formatter->format($submitted_content, $wiki); Escapes any tags which weren't specified as allowed on creation, then interpolates any macros, then translates the raw Wiki language supplied into HTML. A CGI::Wiki object can be supplied as an optional second parameter. This object will be used to determine whether a linked-to node exists or not, and alter the presentation of the link accordingly. This is only really in here for use when this method is being called from within CGI::Wiki. find_internal_links my @links_to = $formatter->find_internal_links( $content ); Returns a list of all nodes that the supplied content links to. node_name_to_node_param use URI::Escape; $param = $formatter->node_name_to_node_param( "Recent Changes" ); my $url = "wiki.pl?" . uri_escape($param); In usemod, the node name is encoded prior to being used as part of the URL. This method does this encoding (essentially, whitespace is munged into underscores). In addition, if "force_ucfirst_nodes" is in action then the node names will be forced ucfirst if they weren't already. Note that unless "munge_urls" was set to true when "new" was called, this method will do nothing. node_param_to_node_name my $node = $q->param('node') || ""; $node = $formatter->node_param_to_node_name( $node ); In usemod, the node name is encoded prior to being used as part of the URL, so we must decode it before we can get back the original node name. Note that unless "munge_urls" was set to true when "new" was called, this method will do nothing. AUTHOR Kake Pugh (kake@earth.li). COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2003 Kake Pugh. All Rights Reserved.

A lot of the work of this module is done within chromatic's module, Text::WikiFormat. CAVEATS This doesn't yet support all of UseMod's formatting features and options, by any means. (In particular, it doesn't cope with nested lists, but I think this might be something I need to fix within Text::WikiFormat.) This really truly *is* a 0.0* release. Please send bug reports, omissions, patches, and stuff, to me at "kake@earth.li". NOTE ON USEMOD COMPATIBILITY UseModWiki "encodes" node names before making them part of a URL, so for example a node about Wombat Defenestration will have a URL like http://example.com/wiki.cgi?Wombat_Defenestration So if we want to emulate a UseModWiki exactly, we need to munge back and forth between node names as titles, and node names as CGI params. my $formatter = CGI::Wiki::Formatter::UseMod->new( munge_urls => 1 ); my $node_param = $q->param('id') || $q->param('keywords') || ""; my $node_name = $formatter->node_param_to_node_name( $node_param ); use URI::Escape; my $url = "http://example.com/wiki.cgi?" . uri_escape( $formatter->node_name_to_node_param( "Wombat Defenestration" ) ); SEE ALSO * CGI::Wiki * Text::WikiFormat * UseModWiki ()
