mwcomposerfromhell is a Python package that provides an easy-to-use method to convert MediaWiki Wikicode to HTML via mwparserfromhell. It supports Python 3.

.. _Wikicode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext .. _mwparserfromhell: https://mwparserfromhell.readthedocs.io

Usage

Normal usage is rather straightforward to convert from a str of Wikicode to a str of HTML. It involves two steps:

1. Parse the Wikicode to an abstract syntax tree using mwparserfromhell.
2. Convert the AST to HTML.

.. code-block:: python

>>> import mwparserfromhell
>>> import mwcomposerfromhell
>>> wikicode = mwparserfromhell.parse(text)  # Step 1
>>> html = mwcomposerfromhell.compose(wikicode)  # Step 2

You can also use it from the command line if you already have your wikicode in a file. The convert HTML is output on standard out.

.. code-block:: sh

python -m mwcomposerfromhell path/to/my/wikicode
