Either [[plugins/template]] or [[plugins/shortcut]] should support some form
|
|
of very simple text parsing or regex application, to make it possible to write
|
|
shortcuts like these:
|
|
|
|
[[mmlist listname@lists.example.org]] -> <listname@example.org> ([mailman page] (http://lists.example.org/mailman/listinfo/listname)
|
|
[[debchangelog packagename]] -> [packagename changelog](http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/packagename/current/changelog)
|
|
|
|
For shortcut definitions, a `match` parameter could supply a regex, and then the `url` and `desc` parameters could make use of the named or numbered groups from the match.

I'm not comfortable with exposing regexps to web editing. At the very least
|
|
it's trivial to construct regexps that take indefinitely long to match
|
|
certain strings, which could be used to DOS ikiwiki. At worst, perl code
|
|
can be embedded in regexps in a variety of ways that are painful to filter
|
|
out, and perl's regexp engine could also potentially have bugs that could
|
|
be exploited by user-supplied regexps.
|
|
|
|
It seems that a better place to put this kind of text munging is in
|
|
special-purpose plugins. It should be very simple to write plugins for the
|
|
above two examples, that look identical to the user as what you described.
