Hi,
I am new to the list. I would like to parse wikitext files from
wikipedia and have some doubts:
1) what is the best parser that gets the best rendering for wikipedia
content ?
MediaWiki parser.
And the fastest parser ?
I don't know a parser comparison but you can be really fast if you don't
mind dropping some features.
2) If I decide to write my parser,
That's a bad idea.
how can I handle rendering of infoboxes/macros ?
They're called templates. There's a preprocessing step which substitutes
templates. You then parse the result.
Maybe the idea
is to parse the wikitext but handle the macros/infoboxes/templates
with a separate library (as
I imagine there are lots of different templates and it might be silly
to try to parse/render each one
as this might be handled well for existing libraries)
You can't parse each template separately, as templates are not
independent, they have parameters.
thanks and regards
jose
