Description Scott Rosenbaum

I have recently started using Google Code to release some Eclipse Plugins.  It looks like they use Moi Moi syntax, which does not seem to match to any of the supported syntaxes (or maybe I am just ignorant).

Any chance you will be supporting Google Codes wiki syntax?

Scott, thanks for the feature request.  This is related to bug 159324.
Currently Mylyn WikiText does not implement Google Code "WikiSyntax":http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/WikiSyntax

As you may already know Mylyn WikiText is extensible and can support new wiki syntaxes quite easily.  That said, it's not the intention of the Mylyn WikiText project to directly support every wiki syntax.  It's expected that third parties will use Mylyn WikiText as a framework and add on extensions to support wiki syntaxes.  Currently Mylyn WikiText supports syntaxes for which there is a corresponding Mylyn connector, and MediaWiki which is the backbone of EclipsePedia.

Should bug 159324 move forward, then it's likely that Google Code wiki syntax support will be implemented within the Mylyn WikiText project.

If you're interested in contributing Google Code wiki syntax then please get involved.  You may want to participate in one of our "weekly conference calls":http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/Meetings  Feel free to add an agenda item and phone in.

FYI, there appear to be some efforts around developing a Mylyn connector for Google Code.  You may be interested in getting involved, providing support for Google Code Wiki syntax using Mylyn WikiText: http://code.google.com/p/googlecode-mylyn-connector/

Unfortunately Google Code doesn't currently support wiki syntax in issue description and comments. If your interested in this functionality vote for this issue: http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=2301

Closed as part of backlog clean-up.  Please re-open if you'd like to see this revisited, perhaps with a contribution.
