[Moin-devel] Parsing wikimarkup from within a macro.

[Brian Dorsey]

Hi everyone!

I've been working with some other people in the Seattle Python Users group to make a few actions & macros for MoinMoin. It's been great fun, and we've made someinteresting stuff so far. 

It looks like a lot of the macros which come with MoinMoin are using macro.formatter.*method* to output little sections of html. It seems like it would be easier for us to output wiki markup and let MoinMoin code handle the rendering to html.

We poked around a bit and found something that works... but somehow it doesn't seem like we're using the objects the way they were ment to be used. Here is a sample:


from MoinMoin.parser.wiki import Parser

def execute(macro, args):
    fakeForm = {}
    text = " * Some wiki markup\n * some more"
    return Parser(text).format(macro.formatter, fakeForm )

Is there a better way to do this?

Take care,
-Brian
