[Mediawiki-l] extensions and wiki markup

[Muzaffer Ozakca]

The solution below was offered by a hacker on this list a couple months ago.


function renderer( $input ) {
        global $wgParser;

...

	  // pass $input to wiki parser
        $output = $wgParser->internalParse($input, true);

...

        return $output;
}

I'm aware that it works for images. It probably works for other kinds of
links, too. This might fail to work for some other things, though.

Using this occasion, I'd like to thank to the person who came up with this
solution in the first place, Jean-Christian Imbeault. Saved me a lot of
effort.
