[Mediawiki-l] Get Mediawiki to read template variables within extension tags?

[Romain GUILLOT]

Hi all, I think I can help you out
I hacked mediawiki parser.php (version 1.6.3) three monthes ago in order to
extend mediawiki extension behaviour for my personnal use.

My tweaks addressed two parsing issues :

- parser limitations regarding template arguments handling within extension
- parser not handling correctly some nested extensions cases
       
My hack is rather ugly, but it is working like a charm. (with the 1.6.3
version)

You can browse the code here :

Let me know if this is helpful !

Bests,
