I guess the reason I never thought to write this is when I put a .txt file
|
|
in ikiwiki, I'm happy enough to see it copied through unchanged.
|
|
|
|
I guess the advantage of using this plugin is that you get the page wrapper
|
|
around the preformatted text, and could even inline such a page.
|
|
|
|
There is not currently a good way to turn off some processing steps for
|
|
some page types. It's either all or nothing. The patch in
|
|
[[todo/format_escape]] might allow a formatter to register its own special
|
|
version of htmllink that didn't do anything, but would that be enough?

[Here](http://www.gmcmanus.org/plaintext.pm) is an alternate approach.
|
|
It encodes entities using a filter hook, before wikilinks are linkified.
|
|
So wikilinks turn up as links.
|
|
It also uses URI::Find to turn URIs into links.
|
|
|
|
I'm not very familiar with Perl, so this code could be improved.

I like this approach! It sidesteps the annoying problem, and it actually
|
|
makes the .txt format genuinely wiki-like, by allowing wikilinks and
|
|
preprocessor directices.
|
|
|
|
The only thing I am not sure about is the conversion of external urls to
|
|
hyperlinks.

|
Can you please add a copyright/license statemnt to the top of the plugin?
|
|
If you do, I'll add it to ikiwiki. Thanks! --[[Joey]]
