Text::Markup::Mediawiki(3pm)

Name
Text::Markup::Mediawiki - MediaWiki syntax parser for Text::Markup

Synopsis
  my $html = Text::Markup->new->parse(file => 'README.mediawiki');
  my $raw  = Text::Markup->new->parse(
      file    => 'README.mediawiki',
      options => [ {}, { raw => 1 } ],
  );

Description
This is the MediaWiki syntax <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing_Wikipedia> parser for Text::Markup. It reads in the file (relying on a BOM <https://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM>), hands it off to Text::MediawikiFormat for parsing, and then returns the generated HTML as an encoded UTF-8 string with an "http-equiv="Content-Type"" element identifying the encoding as UTF-8.

It recognizes files with the following extensions as MediaWiki:

.mediawiki
.mwiki
.wiki

To change it the files it recognizes, load this module directly and pass a regular expression matching the desired extension(s), like so:

  use Text::Markup::Mediawiki qr{kwiki?};

Text::Markup::Mediawiki supports the two Text::MediawikiFormat arguments, a hash reference for tags and a hash reference of options. The supported options include:

"prefix"
"extended"
"implicit_links"
"absolute_links"
"process_html"

Normally this module returns the output wrapped in a minimal HTML document skeleton. If you would like the raw output without the skeleton, you can pass the "raw" option via that second hash reference of options.
