Now, it is clear to me that this is the wrong way of going about this - I shouldn't be having to mess with the internals of the parser object in order to just pre-process the text, as it will clearly break whenever the parser object is updated!
Can someone tell me the correct forward-compatible way to pre-process article text in this manner?
My guess would be something like $parser = clone $wgParser; . Dunno if that works (or if clone is even available in PHP 4), but you could try.
It doesn't, and it isn't... :-(
That said, the PHP_Compat PEAR module contains a PHP4 version of the clone function (providing you use clone($wgParser)) which I might try.
Alternatively, is there any harm in just using $wgParser directly? Do we have to make a copy?
