Stable releases are made available as well as weekly builds that include the latest features and bug fixes.
## The project shall provide a single reference implementation of such a parser, implementing the Textile markup language
+
## Other markup language parsers may be provided by the project, focusing on markup languages supported by repositories for which there is a Mylyn connector (eg: TracWiki, Confluence markup and MediaWiki)
+
## The project shall provide a means of extending the framework to support other markup languages, using standard Eclipse facilities such as extension points such that the framework may be extended outside of the project.
+
## Where feasible the LWM parser framework and LWM parser implementations provided by the framework shall be usable outside of an Eclipse environment (stand-alone) without reference to Eclipse or OSGI APIs. The intention is to foster maximum community adoption of the parser components of the project in order to maximize community contributions back to the project in improving LWM parser components.

### The project shall provide Ant tasks for converting files containing LWM to HTML, to Eclipse Help format, and where feasible to DocBook
+
# The project shall provide a means of displaying LWM content as it is intended to be viewed in its formatted form in an SWT UI
+
## A 'lite' version of a viewer will be provided that makes a best attempt at displaying markup without use of a Browser component
+
## The project shall also facilitate use of a Browser to display content
+
# The project shall provide an editor that is markup-aware, capable of authoring markup for any LWM supported by a parser component
+
# The project shall provide a set of patches to the Mylyn project which may be adopted by Mylyn in order to use components of WikiText in the Mylyn UI
+
## The patches shall not reference APIs of the WikiText project, rather the reverse is true; the WikiText project may reference APIs of Mylyn

Notes from 2008-05-28 Meeting:
+
* Extension point to override default viewer and editor: needs to declare what editor it's using, need to declare language being used
+
* If multiple viewer extensions present, our editor creates tabs
+
** for example, if a viewer and editor are available, the edit area creates an 'Edit' tab and a 'Preview' tab for editable areas
+
* E.g.: ITaskEditorExtension
+
** createViewer()
+
** createEditor()
+
** createConfiguration()
+
** getEditorContextId()
+
* Activate a new context when the New Comment viewer is active, can extend default task editor context

  • API a framework and API for handling lightweight markup

WikiText has parsers for MediaWiki, Textile, Markdown, CommonMark, AsciiDoc, Confluence, Creole, TracWiki and TWiki markup, and can be extended to support other languages. WikiText provides Ant tasks for converting lightweight markup to HTML, Eclipse Help, DocBook, DITA and XSL-FO. WikiText also provides an editor for editing such markup within Eclipse, and integrates with the Mylyn task editor causing it to be markup-aware. WikiText provides API for integrating wiki markup capabilities into Eclipse, RCP, stand-alone and server-side applications.
