Re: [Wikitech-l] I love Parsoid but it doesn't want me

Well, it's really just a different way of thinking about things. Instead of:

>>> import mwparserfromhell
>>> text = "I has a template! {{foo|bar|baz|eggs=spam}} See it?"
>>> wikicode = mwparserfromhell.parse(text)
>>> templates = wikicode.filter_templates()

you would write:

js> Parsoid = require('parsoid');
js> text = "I has a template! {{foo|bar|baz|eggs=spam}} See it?";
js> Parsoid.parse(text, { document: true }).then(function(res) {
       templates = res.out.querySelectorAll('[typeof~="mw:Transclusion"]');
       console.log(templates);
      }).done();

That said, it wouldn't be hard to clone the API of http://mwparserfromhell.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/mwparserfromhell.html

Parsoid's expressiveness seems to convey useless information, overlook important details, or duplicate them in different places. If I want to resize an image, am I supposed to change "data-file-width" and "data-file-height"? "width" and "height"? Or "src"? I think what I'm looking for is sort of an 'enhanced wikitext' rather than 'annotated HTML'.

and that would probably be a great addition to the parsoid package API.

HTML is just a tree structured data representation. Think of it as XML if it makes you happier. It just happens to come with well-defined semantics and lots of manipulation libraries.

I don't know about edits tagged as "VisualEditor". That seems like that should only be done by VE.

All edits made via visualeditoredit https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=visualeditoredit are tagged.

I take it you would like an easy work flow to fetch a page, make edits, and then write the new revision back?

Right.

mwparserfromhell doesn't actually seem to have that functionality

It is actually pretty easy to do with Pywikibot. But since Parsoid happens to work server-side, it makes sense to request and send back the structured tree directly.

, but it would also be nice to facilitate that use case if we can. --scott
