I was talking more generally about doing previews in an editor, not the suggest - ideally you'd want to call the server to render the preview thru MW, then you'd be guarenteed you had interpretted it (and any extensions installed on the server) correctly.

One issue I have with developing all of these is the speed of MW startup. It cannot really be used to make AJAX type requests in its current form, as pages often take seconds to render. Not sure the best way to speed this up. The parser seems to be the slowest point in most of my profiles, but simple too much code to run thru for AJAX requests at the moment.
Doesn't Julien's program run independently of MediaWiki itself? That is, I got the impression that the client wasn't sending a request to index.php, it was sending it to Julien's program, so startup time for MediaWiki doesn't matter. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
