creoleparser and web2py

[BBi]

Hi,

Just to let you know that I wrote a small publishing application,
using web2py framework and creoleparser.

My first version used the markdown parser from http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
. However, I was not very satisfied by the markdown syntax, and I
wanted to be able to tweak the html output.

I searched wiki parsers written in python, and there are not many. At
first sight, creoleparser is a little intimidating, with all the
genshi stuff. But I decided to give it a try. I had only 4 lines of
code to write to switch from markdown to creoleparser. That was a very
good experience.

Today, I added a macro and I found it relatively easy, thanks to the
DivMacroExample. So, I'm quite happy with creoleparser, and I will
stick with it.

Thank you for having developed this nice piece of code.
When I am ready, I'll release some code in the web2py community. It
may help creoleparser acquire more momentum.

Regards,

Bruno

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm glad to hear you are finding creoleparser useful and that you were
able to create a macro. Good macro support was something that drove me
to create creoleparser in the first place. The macro syntax was
roughly inspired by the Confluence wiki engine (http://
www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/). I use Confluence at work and
have found it to be very powerful.

If/when Creole 2.0 becomes a reality, creoleparser will almost
certainly be updated to support it. That project is just starting, so
you can weigh-in on new syntax ideas if you have any:
