[Mediawiki-l] extensions and wiki markup

[Christof Damian]

I found a similar solution now, without using the internal function.

function renderer($input) {
  global $wgTitle,$wgParser,$wgUser;
  $output = $wgParser->parse($cal->getCurrentMonthView(), $wgTitle, ParserOptions::newFromUser($wgUser));
  return $o->getText();
}

but I still think there should be a way for extensions to use the parser without hacks like this.
