Bug 312153

Comment 1 Wolfgang Strunk 2010-05-08 06:36:51 EDT

I am already working on an implementation. Currently I am unclear how unit testing is done in the WikiText subproject. I can't see any examples in implementations for the other supported markup languages.

Wolfgang, thanks for the enhancement request.   Great to hear that you've already got a start.  

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.

I hope that you've already found the Mylyn WikiText Developer Guide, which comes with the Mylyn WikiText SDK.  It should give you a good start.  It can also be very useful to look at existing markup language implementations in WikiText, of which TextileLanguage is a good place to start looking.  Unit tests are critical in developing a markup language correctly, I highly recommend taking a look at TextileLanguageTest.  To get source for unit tests you'll need to set up your workspace with source projects, see the "Mylyn Contributor Reference":http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/Contributor_Reference#Setup for details.

I've attached a Mylyn Context pointing to TextileLanguage and TextileLanguageTest.

Feel free to use the mylyn-dev@eclipse.org for any questions that you might have, and as you proceed feel free to contribute to the developer guide.

Wolfgang, I am confused.  The CollabNet TeamForge connector has supported this since August 2009 when version 1.10 of the CollabNet Desktop was released. Current version is 2.0.

Source code is here:

http://desktop-eclipse.open.collab.net/source/browse/desktop-eclipse/trunk/plugins/com.collabnet.ee.tracker.core/src/com/collabnet/ee/wikitext/

This feature is even on by default.

Mark, I wasn't aware of the WikiText implementation in CollabNet desktop. If I got David's comment right, that is exactly the right place to put it and therefore this  bug should be closed.

Looking at CollabNet's implementation, unfortunately only a part of the markup language is supported. I am missing
- css changes like %%(color: yellow;)some text in yellow%% 
- replacement of  CamelCase words
- table of contents

Is that due to the fact, that the trackers don't support full wiki markup?
Mark, is it possible to contribute to your implementation?

I do not believe any of the Eclipse wiki text implementations are a full-blown implementation of their respective wiki's.  It is just used for some basic formatting capabilities so that you can have lists and some text formatting in artifact comments etc.

The CollabNet Desktop is EPL licensed and we will review and accept patches.

Resolving NOT_ECLIPSE, since this is clearly a CollabNet issue.
Feel free to continue the discussion here, though it may make sense to move it to a CollabNet issue tracker.
