I think it's a good way to go - having a browser render the data. The
issue is that the only true parser is the one built into mediawiki!
I'll have a look at your C code..<br>

I want to know if anyone is interested in writing an<br>offline wiki browser.<br><br><a href<br>="<a href="http://wikifilter.sourceforge.net/"">http://wikifilter.sourceforge.net/"</a>>WikiFilter</a>
<br>is a small program I wrote and both the binary and the<br>source code (in C) are uploaded there. It is not a<br>complete "reader", but a background "browser", because<br>it manages the dump file, and does the parsing, but
<br>relies on a web browser to display the html output.<br><br>While managing the dump file is straightforward (build<br>an index, search it for an article by title, etc.),<br>parsing wiki text to html is quite tricky. I wonder if
<br>anyone has tried this before.<br><br>In particluar, are there any robust algorithms to<br>parse templates and wiki tables?<br><br><br><br><br>__________________________________<br>Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005
