Simple (?) question: wiki mardown to HTML

Hi Paul, Thanks for the hint - I indeed meant markup and not markdown. Regarding the strip: the sample code that I posted was an interim snapshot - the intention was to remove trailing newlines which screwed up subsequent code not part of the snippet. But instead of calling strip() the following works just as well: for line in f: if line [-1] == '\n': l0 = line [:-1] else: l0 = line lines.append(l0) Thanks again for your input! -- This email account is monitored seven days a week.

Extend pages via action as another user

Hi, I'm trying to create a kind of group mechanism that allows any registered user who knows a password to join an existing group in my wiki. Setup: * TestGroup page, member list at the bottom of the page * LetMeIn page with a form field for the password (FormCreate macro) * custom action deriving from FormSubmit At first, I tried to edit the current revision of TestGroup on the file system level, but there seem to be some caching issues with regard to the permissions, or I screwed up the revisions or something else. It didn't work reliably. Then I found the Page and PageEditor classes and did the following: real_user = self.request.user # 'su' u = User(self.request, _getUserIdByKey(self.request, "name", "ol")) self.request.user = u p = Page(self.request, "TestGroup") rev = p.current_rev() pe = PageEditor(self.request, "TestGroup") pe.saveText(p.get_raw_body() + " * {}\n".format(real_user.name), rev) # 'un-su' self.request.user = real_user "ol" is a user that can write to TestGroup. This code works, but feels kind of wrong. Are there better ways to do what I want? -- Jasper

Simple (?) question: wiki mardown to HTML

I have the requirement to translate some dynamically generated wiki markdown to HTML as part of a macro invocation on a page. The idea is to invoke a macro which then retrieves text from an external source which may include markdown already and then to convert this to valid HTML which can be display on the page containing the macro. After spending several hours w/o success on the actual approach, my suspicion is that I need a wiki markdown parser and a text / HTML formatter but I'm lacking the exact Python code snippet for the macro as the existing documentation is far less than conclusive on this matter. Any help is appreciated - thanks in advance! -- This email account is monitored seven days a week.
