Wiki Processors

Processors are WikiMacros designed to provide alternative markup formats for the Trac Wiki engine. Processors can be thought of as macro functions to process user-edited text.

The wiki engine uses processors to allow using Restructured Text and raw HTML in any wiki text throughout Trac.

Using Processors

To use a processor on a block of text, use a wiki blockquote, selecting a processor by name using 'hashbang notation' (#!), familiar to most UNIX users from scripts.

Example 1 (inserting raw HTML in a wiki text):

{{{
#!html
<h1 style="color: orange">This is raw HTML</h1>
}}}

Results in:

This is raw HTML

---

Example 2 (inserting Restructured Text in wiki text):

{{{
#!rst
A header
--------
This is some **text** with a footnote [*]_.

.. [*] This is the footnote.
}}}

Results in:

A header

This is some text with a footnote [*].

[*]	This is the footnote.
