= Wiki Processors = Processors are WikiMacros designed to provide alternative markup formats for the Trac Wiki engine. Processors can be thought of as ''macro functions to process user-edited text''. The wiki engine uses processors to allow using [wiki:WikiRestructuredText Restructured Text] and [wiki:WikiHtml raw HTML] in any wiki text throughout Trac. == Using Processors == To use a processor on a block of text, use a wiki blockquote, selecting a processor by name using ''shebang notation'' (#!), familiar to most UNIX users from scripts. '''Example 1''' (''inserting raw HTML in a wiki text''): {{{ #!html
{{{
#!html
<h1 style="color: orange">This is raw HTML</h1>
}}}
}}} '''Results in:''' {{{ #!html

This is raw HTML

}}} ---- '''Example 2''' (''inserting Restructured Text in wiki text''): {{{ #!html
{{{
#!rst
A header
--------
This is some **text** with a footnote [*]_.

.. [*] This is the footnote.
}}}
}}} '''Results in:''' {{{ #!rst A header -------- This is some **text** with a footnote [*]_. .. [*] This is the footnote. }}} ---- '''Example 3''' (''inserting a block of C source code in wiki text''): {{{ #!html
{{{
#!c
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  printf("Hello World
");
  return 0;
}
}}}
}}} '''Results in:''' {{{ #!c int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("Hello World "); return 0; } }}} ---- == Available Processors == The following processors are included in the Trac distribution: * '''html''' -- Insert custom HTML in a wiki page. See WikiHtml. * '''rst''' -- Trac support for Restructured Text. See WikiRestructuredText. * '''textile''' -- Supported if [http://dealmeida.net/projects/textile/ Textile] is installed. === Code Highlighting Support === Trac includes processors to provide inline [wiki:TracSyntaxColoring syntax highlighting] for the following languages: * '''c''' -- C * '''cpp''' -- C++ * '''python''' -- Python * '''perl''' -- Perl * '''ruby''' -- Ruby * '''php''' -- PHP * '''asp''' --- ASP * '''sql''' -- SQL * '''xml''' -- XML '''Note:''' ''Trac relies on external software packages for syntax coloring. See TracSyntaxColoring for more info.'' By using the MIME type as processor, it is possible to syntax-highlight the same languages that are supported when browsing source code. For example, you can write: {{{ {{{ #!text/html

text

}}} }}} The result will be syntax highlighted HTML code. The same is valid for all other mime types supported.

In fact they work the same way, only the usage syntax differs. See WikiMacros for more information. '''Example:''' (''Restructured Text Processor''): {{{ from docutils.core import publish_string def execute(hdf, text, env): html = publish_string(text, writer_name = 'html') return html[html.find('')+6:html.find('')].strip() }}} ---- See also: WikiMacros, WikiHtml, WikiRestructuredText, TracSyntaxColoring, WikiFormatting, TracGuide
