Subject: [Mediacloth-devel] Shortcut method for customizing output
Message-ID: <e163e2f50802111816p7024c147vba9479945e610c2d@mail.gmail.com>

I have been using a little method that looks like wiki_to_html inside the
MediaCloth module for my projects. It helps to customize the HTML
generator and link handlers and avoids the boiler-plate code. Here it
is:

  def wiki_render(input, options={})
    parser = MediaWikiParser.new
    parser.lexer = MediaWikiLexer.new
    tree = parser.parse(input)
    generator = options[:generator] || MediaWikiHTMLGenerator.new
    generator.link_handler = options[:link_handler] if options[:link_handler]
    generator.parse(tree)
  end

With this in place, instead of explicitly creating the parser and lexer, I
can provide a link handler and/or HTML generator within the options hash
and keep my code cleaner.

Maybe we can have this version as a starting point and improve from
there if people find it useful.

Cheers,

Thiago Arrais

Seems like a good idea. How about modifying the existing 
Mediacloth::wiki_to_html method to include support for options has you 
have done below? No existing code will break.

That seems nice too, Gregory. We'll have a revision
by the end of the (my :-) day.

Thanks,

Subject: [Mediacloth-devel] New tracker for MediaCloth
Message-ID: <e163e2f50802291204n6a7fd9e6p1daa601da50d40df@mail.gmail.com>

I have been using MediaCloth to build a project tracker called Motiro
(http://www.motiro.org). It has hit version 0.6.9 this week and I
thought I should thank MediaCloth somehow, so I managed to set
up a Motiro tracker for MediaCloth at http://mediacloth.motiro.org/

Motiro allows MediaWiki markup to be used in feature requests, source
code commits and, obviously, for wiki pages. Everything through
MediCloth, of course.

I took the liberty to write an initial main page for MediaCloth based on
the text found at http://mediacloth.rubyforge.org and to transfer the
open bugs there. This new site can be used as the project website ''and''
as a bug tracker also, if people feel like it.

Please feel free to take a look and/or write something there. The URL
(again) is

http://mediacloth.rubyforge.org

Many thanks,

Thiago Arrais
