Parsing WikiCode to HTML

[Srijancse-zz]

Is there a way, I can use mwparserfromhell, to parse wikitocode to HTML?

[lahwaacz]

No. See #161.

Parsoid might be best here.

The thing is, parsoid is quite heavy and using it for offline editing, doesn't suits! Since, mwparserfromhell, is a powerful parser, will someone be working on the HTML parsing in future?

[earwig]

I don't think so. mwparserfromhell's output structure is designed to be easy to manipulate for bots or tools, especially those that need to re-serialize it as wikitext with minimal changes and no other dependencies.

Building HTML would require a lot of logic we don't have yet, like actually expanding templates onwiki somehow. I guess #100 exists, though.

I agree. Actually, I was building an offlineextension for wikieditor, and was looking for ways to use mwparserfromhell. But, I agree, that it seems to be tough to build HTML using it!
