Look for a possible simple wikicode to html parser

Description

When the user switch to the preview mode a simple preview will be shown. To do this, a simple parser that converts the basic wikitext markup to html is needed.

Instead of writing it from scratch I would preferablly find and already existing one, so let's discuss here about the possible parsers and renderers you find

This is a suggestion:

I know it's alla based on regex rules but it seems easy to read and to hack

I think this is how far the best available parser and works good too! Maybe @davidev can help by suggesting something?

To add the wiky.js for parsing wikitext to HTML, I need to find a way to get the current value of the #wpTextbox1 textarea in the WikiEditor and I'm unable to do that.

Have you tried this?

srijancse added a comment.Jun 25 2016, 8:03 AM

No. Okay. Thanks. It was this simple :( . I was going through the JS that triggers when someone clicks Preview.

Status needed to check if it's working. In particular, how is the math working?

I'm using this parser currently. Working on making the parser work.
