Mediawiki Reader: handle templates #4404

Open tobiasBora opened 6 years ago

tobiasBora commented 6 years ago

Hello,

First thank you for this great tool. I just saw a bug with some mediawiki content: the balise {{nowrap| <some text.....>}} seems to be removed from pandoc. Here is an example

$ ./pandoc -f mediawiki -t latex
{{nowrap|Hello}}

produces nothing. For a complete example, you can try this article and look at the section "LLL algorithm".

Thank you !

Pandoc version: pandoc 2.1.1

{{nowrap... is a template, and it appears pandoc's mediawiki reader currently doesn't handle those (they are converted to RawBlock (Format "mediawiki")).

There's an outstanding TODO in the source code...

Full support of MediaWiki syntax could benefit from a deeper look at the official JavaScript parser which was developed after the original MediaWiki parser in PHP. It includes a PEG grammar for MediaWiki syntax tokenizer which might be reusable in Haskell.

Have you looked into this ExpandTemplates? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Expandtemplates https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:ExpandTemplates You just need to provide the source wiki, and then you should be able to get pandoc to properly convert everything.
