# Text::Markup::Mediawiki(3pm)

MediaWiki syntax parser for Text::Markup

## Name

Text::Markup::Mediawiki - MediaWiki syntax parser for Text::Markup

## Synopsis

```
  my $html = Text::Markup->new->parse(file => 'README.mediawiki');
  my $raw  = Text::Markup->new->parse(
      file    => 'README.mediawiki',
      options => [ {}, { raw => 1 } ],
  );
```

## Description

This is the MediaWiki syntax \<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing\_Wikipedia\> parser for Text::Markup. It reads in the file (relying on a BOM \<https://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/utf\_bom.html#BOM\>), hands it off to Text::MediawikiFormat for parsing, and then returns the generated HTML as an encoded UTF-8 string with an `"http-equiv="Content-Type""` element identifying the encoding as UTF-8.

It recognizes files with the following extensions as MediaWiki:

- *.mediawiki*

  - *.mwiki*

  - *.wiki*

  To change it the files it recognizes, load this module directly and pass a regular expression matching the desired extension(s), like so:

```
  use Text::Markup::Mediawiki qr{kwiki?};
```

Text::Markup::Mediawiki supports the two Text::MediawikiFormat arguments, a hash reference for tags and a hash reference of options. The supported options include:

- "prefix"

  - "extended"

  - "implicit\_links"

  - "absolute\_links"

  - "process\_html"

  Normally this module returns the output wrapped in a minimal HTML document skeleton. If you would like the raw output without the skeleton, you can pass the `"raw"` option via that second hash reference of options.
