The versions of wiki2xhtml and its changelogs.

wiki2xhtml-svn

The most up-to-date version of wiki2xhtml can be found on the Subversion repository. See Building from SVN for details.

Attention: wiki2xhtml requires Java 1.6 now. Java 1.5 will not work anymore.

• wiki2xhtml only parses changed files if the flag --incremental is set; makes it much faster when only few files have been edited
• Functions if, ifeq, and switch are now supported. See also: mediawiki:ParserFunctions
• New argument --source-dir to choose the directory containing all files. wiki2xhtml.jar no longer needs to be in the same directory as the files. See here.
• Arguments for images and links allowing to use custom formatting or plugins like Shadowbox
• Templates also work in the head area.
• Recursions in templates (a template calling itself or building an infinite loop via another way) are detected and you will be warned
• wiki2xhtml uses a minimalistic standard reck file if no design is available
• GUI improved; bigger argument field
• Using the JarClassLoader for the jar file to include the gettext commons library warned.
• CDATA sections in templates are correctly inserted now (content was deleted sometimes due to IDs occuring multiple times)
• wiki2xhtml is now able to run without style directory
• Access to files in .jar corrected (for standalone use of the .jar file)
• wiki2xhtml won’t generate two links from [http://example.com http://example.com] anymore.
• Menu entries without a link, but with a *, are now correctly recognized (correct level) and no longer inserted as a heading.

Various notes:

• Tag {{ConsistentGallery}} disabled; acessible by setting number of images per line to zero ({{GalleryImagesPerLine:0}}).
• Keyword AddKeywords has been removed and replaced by Keywords.
• Custom metadata now with Meta:name=content
• New icons for .zip, .xcf etc. added; will be used in [[Image:nothing.zip]]
• Preferences dialog improved
• New tag for image pages to insert alternative image text: [alt] (only important if you're using a custom style)
• wiki2xhtml will warn you if templates end with a newline character. This causes trouble in tables! (Tables will be parsed after the templates, so imagine inserting a newline at the place the template is being inserted at …)

wiki2xhtml 3.3

Version 3.3. Please take a look at the last changes in the documentation.

• 3.3.2 (Dec 17, 2008)
  • Argument direct for images now works in galleries too.
  • Alternative reck file can be set (e.g. a special one for PHP)
  • HTML head can be customized.
  • German flag no longer upside down
• 3.3.1 (Oct 7, 2008)
  • Arguments for settings DescForCaption and NameForCaption corrected. Is now :false.
  • HTML comments (<!--like that-->) work again. The two dashes were wrongly recognized as deleted text.
• New Menu system. See here.
• Basic support for Templates.
• wiki2xhtml now fully supports spaces in filenames (enclose them with zoll chars "like that") and other directories. This allows wiki2xhtml to use files in directories like "C:\\Documents and Settings\…".
• Extended:
  • --text-- for removed text,
  • ++text++ for inserted text,
  • $$code$$ for code,
  • @@cite@@ for cites,
  • ::samp:: for samples,
  • 01kbd01 for keyboard inputs
• New tags to include CSS/JavaScript/… in the header
• Documentation updated and extended
• New configuration possibilities, see Quickref
• New classes for references (→ allows the use of .target in CSS)
• wiki2xhtml has a logo!
• Automatic check for updates if enabled
• Last settings are stored
• Image pages: Extended functionality with >desc> and <desc<
• Updater for reck and image templates
• Anchors can be inserted with ~~text~~ (old: {{Mark:text}})
• Management of arguments (Title, Author, Thumbnails, …) rewritten, now works as expected. That means:
  • Settings in commons.txt apply on all files
  • Settings on single pages override the ones in commons.txt (path of thumbnails e.g. can now be page specific!)
• Paragraph inserter rewritten. Faster and standard conform.
• Image handler rewritten, some arguments changed (also arguments in templates!) and are shorter now. Text in galleries doesn’t interrupt linking below image pages anymore.
• Cheatsheet updated
• Duplicate keywords are filtered
• Icons have been refreshed
• GPL again
• Exported shellscripts now start with #!/bin/sh
• About 15 500 lines of code and over 4500 lines documentation
• Stylesheets extended with the class .noprint (won't be printed)
• Code/Paste windows no longer always on top
• Custom meta data (inserted with {{Meta:…}}) is now inserted correctly without a leading Meta:.
• A list at the end of the document is closed again
• If a table starts with a row (|- or |+, e.g. to apply CSS to it), there won't be an empty <tr> tag anymore.

Footnotes

1. [↑] For interested people. The (quite simplified) original regular expression: \[\[image:([^\]]*)+\]\]. Problematic is that there is a greedy quantifier both within the parentheses and outside: ([^\]]*)+ (This expression means “Any character but a square bracket, any times, and all that at least one time”.) When the expression fails (that is, if there are no two final square brackets), every imaginably case is tested through here which lets the required time growing—due to the nested quantifiers—exponencially. Note that there is no problem with a successful match! See also: Mastering Regular Expressions, Jeffrey E.F. Friedl, O'Reilly, Chapter six, A Sobering Example.
