Report Wookee problems here. If it's just a case of fixing Wiki markup, edit the page in question with a description such as "Wookee me!" to bump them in Recent Changes.

Non-leading hash signs in headings
- Description
- A hash sign (
#) in a heading (----) is removed, and the heading gets a leading automatic numbering.
- Expected Behavior
- Unless it is the first character in the heading, the hash sign should remain where it is, and the heading shouldn't get automatic numbering because of it.
- Example
- The code
===This is heading #1===produces:
{{{1}}}
mod_perl incompatibilities
- Description
- Because of the use of Perl
INITandCHECKblocks, Wookee is incompatible with mod_perl.
- Suggested Fix
- Replace
INITandCHECKblocks by anonymous, package-level code blocks. They're executed when the module loads anyway, and they don't get into mod_perl's way.
Block-level HTML elements are treated as inline elements
- Description
- Block-level HTML elements such as
or
are treated the same as inline elements such as and are framed withtags. That is, from the entered code
, Wookee generates the raw codefoobar, which is nonsense.foobar
- Expected Behavior
- The entered code
should result in the raw code
foobar.foobar
- Suggested Fix
- Wookee should recognize allowed block-level HTML elements and pass them through to the raw code unhampered, without framing them with
tags.
Comments
Mychaeel: Confirmed. Currently, CharacterHtml manages escaping of HTML characters such as < and > and treats allowed block-level HTML markup such as
< and > around the tags.
A fix for this problem would involve creating a Wookee class BlockWikiHtml derived from BlockWiki which recognizes allowed block-level HTML tags as Wookee block markup, renders their content as regular Wookee markup and streams it into the output enclosed in the recognized HTML tag pair.
Tree markup
Tarquin: I made a basic tree markup class in Wookee, but it lacks the ability to parse the tree elements for links (I couldn't work out what to do :( ). Mych, if you have time, could you take a look at it? It's in CVS (and running here).
Example:
Can't create pages with with a lowercase first letter
gracefool: This is a problem with Wikimedia too. I seem to be the only one so far who wants such a niggly thing, but... which also leads me to ask, can you create templates with this software?
Tarquin: This is a limitation of UseModWiki (the wiki engine) rather than Wookee (the markup parser module). I don't think it's really worth correcting it, since it would cause problems with linking at the start of sentences, eg actor and Actor. IF I thought it really mattered I would have fixed it a long time ago since I prefer to write 'tarquin' with a lowercase t :)
