Library to render WikiText to HTML

wikitexthtml

wikitexthtml is a library that renders HTML from WikiText.

Dependencies

• Python3.8 or higher.
• python-slugify (via setup.py), for slugs in anchors
• ply (via setup.py), to implement {{#ifexpr}} and {{#expr}}
• wikitextparser (via setup.py), to make sense of wikitext

Installation

pip install wikitexthtml

Or for development work:

python3 -m venv .env
.env/bin/pip install -e .

Usage

Extend Page by implementing the missing functions as seen in prototype.py. This way you can customize where files are read from (from disk, from a database, etc) and how to sanitize titles and URLs. In the tests folder examples of this can be found.

Now you can instantiate this new class and call render() on it. The result will be available in html. For example:

class WikiPage(Page):
    ...

print(WikiPage("Main Page").render().html)
