This would run into serious problems with stuff like
system messages
(which contain lots of wikitext, at least by default) and hardcoded
strings (many of which are at least going to be HTML, if perhaps not
often wikitext). Nice idea, though.
Thanks Simetrical, that's a good point. Definitely something to consider
when attempting to extend the Parser.
Can anyone think of something they currently can't achieve with the existing
hooks? Something that might be solvable with a Factory class?
