Dokuwiki - Syntax Plugin

Card Puncher Data Processing

About

The syntax plugin captures a content between two nodes.

This start and end nodes are defined with the help of a regular expression. See:

The content between this two nodes will be processed by other plugin if :

State

State are just steps in the parsing process that returns information according to regular expressions.

To define the plugin content (ie the node in the parse tree), you define a pattern expression within this tow state:

  • DOKU_LEXER_ENTER (The opening node)
  • DOKU_LEXER_EXIT (The closing node)

Then you can retrieve text below this two nodes with the state: DOKU_LEXER_MATCHED

For every text that was not match by any other plugin, you retrieve the text in the DOKU_LEXER_UNMATCHED state.

The plugin type configures if any other plugin must be applied on the content.

DOKU_LEXER_ENTER

You enter in this state when the entry pattern matches the document.

The entry pattern is set by addEntryPattern() in the function connectTo.

The patterns defines the first tag node of the tree and the beginning of the content

DOKU_LEXER_EXIT

A pattern set by addExitPattern() in the postConnect function that defines the end of content

DOKU_LEXER_UNMATCHED

A state that returns all text that was not matched by other plugins between the enter tag and the end tag.

You generally output it with this code

$renderer->doc .= $renderer->_xmlEntities($match);

You can have several call to the unmatched text because the parser engine create block of text separated by end of line.

You get several call one line by one line, if you set getAllowedTypes. If you want the whole block of text don't set it

DOKU_LEXER_MATCHED

It's used when you want to extract information between the enter and the end tag.

This is used to format complex structure such as table, list,…

The matched content will then not be parsed by an other plugin.

If you want this state to be fired, you need to add into the postConnect function a pattern.

Example for a header

$this->Lexer->addPattern('[ \t]*={2,}[^\n]+={2,}[ \t]*(?=\n)','plugin_' . self::PLUGIN_NAME.'_'.$this->getPluginComponent());

Example

Wiki Page

The raw data of the dokuwiki page:

<tag>
**will be bold and then processed** 
This text will appear in the 'not matched' state.
<subtag>This text will be in the </subtag>
<subsubtag>A subsub
tag</subsubtag>
</tag>

The below links call the page itself with the purge option in order to suppress any cache effect.
[[test?purge=true|Test with purge]]

Output

DOKU_LEXER_ENTER: <tag>

will be bold and then processed


DOKU_LEXER_UNMATCHED: This text will appear in the 'not matched' state.
DOKU_LEXER_MATCHED: <subtag>This text must be in the matched tag</subtag>
DOKU_LEXER_UNMATCHED: <subsubtag>A subsub
DOKU_LEXER_UNMATCHED: tag</subsubtag>
DOKU_LEXER_EXIT: </tag>
