horde/Text\_Wiki - A Modernized Fork of pear/Text\_Wiki and related modules
===========================================================================

[](#hordetext_wiki---a-modernized-fork-of-peartext_wiki-and-related-modules)

This library parses various styles of Wiki markup and renders them to

- HTML
- plain text
- (la)tex
- Markdown (GFM and CommonMark)
- other viewing/printing formats
- other Wiki formats

Its prime usage in Horde is driving the Wicked wiki application. It can also be used to read and convert legacy Wiki formats into Markdown or Mediawiki (Wikipedia) format.

Heritage and conversion approach
--------------------------------

[](#heritage-and-conversion-approach)

This is a spinoff of pear/text\_wiki and its subclasses

- pear/text\_wiki\_tiki
- pear/text\_wiki\_mediawiki
- pear/text\_wiki\_creole
- pear/text\_wiki\_doku
- pear/text\_wiki\_docbook
- pear/text\_wiki\_cowiki
- pear/text\_wiki\_bbcode

The master branch contains Jan Schneider's original preservation-oriented fork from mid 2010s. FRAMEWORK\_6\_0 tries to port to namespaces, composition/injectio, PSR-4 and PHP 8 native equivalents of pearisms and artifacts of PHP 4 era heritage

- PEAR\_Exception is substituted by PHP 8's native exception tree.
- Integration with Horde's own exception tree or helper class ecosystem is avoided.
