hi,
i am looking for a way to structure the text in XML comments to produce
a XHTML doc format for the XMLs (in this case XSLT).
so is was thinking about using a wiki like text format. e.g. something like
<!--
!Headline
some __bold__ text in a paragraph
* a list
* another item
etc... (the markup used is only an example!)
-->
but it should be a widely used format that people do not need to learn
yet another syntax.
it will be used by people using XSLT so it should not be language (py,
perl, java, ...) specific.
is there something like a "standard" wiki format at all, or at least one
that is widely used?
in my company we use a jspwiki which e.g. uses !, !! and !!! for
headlines, __bold__ and * list markup (like the example above). is this
more or less a standard as this is the only wiki i've used yet?
i was googling for python libraries which would parse a wiki text format
to xhtml but could not find something really useful.
is there a python library to parse these text formats? i was looking a
bit into reStructuredTex t but was wondering if this is generally used or
maybe is too Python specific.
any hint would be great
thanks
chris

Don't think so. I saw more than 10 "simplified markups", of which nearly
all was more complicated than original HTML. I wanted something like
this in my JPA, so I added possibility to use Mark Pilgrim's Python
implementation of Dean Allen's Textile (originally implemented in PHP,
Perl version also exists), but Textile is really "simplified ", its
capabilities are rather limited. Go to http://diveintomark.org/ and
check if PyTextile will suit your needs.

thanks for the hint. PyTextile is almost too much already and i agree
almost as "complex" as HTML. something simpler like a wiki syntax would
be much better...

Well, I think the "simplified " seems to be a tradeoff in
terms of fewer keystrokes, rather than any conceptual
simplicity. If you really want to simplify things, please come
up with a little WISIWIG editor rather than yet more
line noise.

well, i think it is not fewer keystrokes but to be able to easily read
the text (like here in this email without the html tag noise in e.g.
javadoc) when working on the xml/xsl file but at the same time to be
able to generate a structured xhtml documentation from the same text.
so something like restructured text seems like the best option to me for
now.

Hi,
I need to create a parser for a Python project, and I'd like to use process
kinda like lex/yacc. I've looked at various parsing packages online, but
didn't find anything useful for me:
- PyLR seems promising but is for Python 1.5
- Yappy seems promising, but I couldn't get it to work. It doesn't even
compile the main example in it's documentation
- mxTexttools is way complicated. I'd like something that I can give a BNF

Is there something to be _shown_ to people who ask "why validate?"?

I'm trying to convert fragments of wiki markup into fragments of html
(specifically using moinmoin markup). I've managed to do this with
MoinMoin but I've had to create a data directory, config file and

Are there any freely licensed Wiki markup to HTML converters available?
Basically, I don't want to convert full wiki markup, just very basic inline
formatting (specically options for bold, italic, and underline text, and
creating hyperlinks)
So the user would type in e.g. http://www.example.org], i'd pass that to a
wiki converter function, and that would return HTML markup.
I've found client side solutions written in JavaScript, but...

I have a requirement to store timestamps in a database. Simple enough
you might think but finding a suitably general format is not easy. The
specifics are
1) subsecond resolution - milliseconds or, preferably, more detailed
2) not bounded by Unix timestamp 2038 limit
3) readable in Java
4) writable portably in Perl which seems to mean that 64-bit values
are out
5) readable and writable in Python

I'm sure you could find a good one, and add your own markup if needed.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
