Verso Wiki: translate Wiki markup to HTML and HTML to Wiki markup

History

We made this Wiki translator because we needed an easy way to edit markup, without people learning HTML. On the other hand we also needed a fast translation of the Wiki to HTML.

We made it fast by storing all text in HTML and introduce a HTML to Wiki translator for editing the text. In this way we can serve the HTML directly from the database. Only a small part of the HTML is so dynamic that it is generated on runtime (ie. when displaying the page). Examples of dynamic parts are references to other pages and images.

Which Wiki markup rules are supported?

Originally we used the excellent PEAR Text_Wiki package by Paul M. Jones. Because we had some databases with existing Wiki markup, we made our Wiki compatible with Paul's Wiki.

See wiki.ciaweb.net/yawiki/index.php?area=Text_Wiki for more information and markup rule documentation.
