I am trying to create an extension for a family tree wiki that uses and re-formats the information entered between a tag. For this example, lets call it <tagX>. Between the tag the users can put in things like
<tagX>
FirstName: John
LastName: Doe
BirthYear: 1980
</tagX>
The extension then reads this information and puts it in a more uniformed style. As everyone probably knows, if I change the year to [[Category:1980]] hoping to link it to the category, it doesn't work as the information between the tags either has already been parsed from wiki to HTML or won't be at all. My question is, after I have done some reformatting, is there a way I can send my output through the parse function again and have everything in the output translated from wiki to HTML? I know that I can modify the output using various functions so this is not necessary, but it would be much easier just to have it parsed. Has anyone done this before or have any thoughts? Thank you in advance for your help.
