Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] WikiLink Extension release 0.2

[Yuri T. <qar...@gm...>]

Waylan,

Thanks.  There is actually already a link on the python markdown site
(see on the left under "Extensions"), though it points to your earlier
page.  I will change the link the next time I am updating the page.

I wonder, however, whether it is a good idea to hard-code WIKI_URL to
'/...' inside a function, where it will be hard to access.  This way,
if you are using a single script to manage several wikis
(example.com/wiki1/, example.com/wikie2) you are out of luck, right?
Also, I really want to move to a "centralized" for managing
extensions, so that someone who say runs a website that allows users
to create their own wikis could give the users an option to enable
certain extensions and to set certain parameters for them.  To enable
that, all extensions must be configurable from outside.

The best, perhaps, would be to have suggest that all extensions use a
dictionary stored in self.config to store configurations.  E.g., in
your case you would have self.config = {'LINK_URL_TEMPLATE' = '/%s/').
 Those parameters can then be accessed from outside Markdown:

md.extensions['wikilinks'].config['LINK_URL_TEMPLATE'] = "/~%s/wiki/" % username

This would allow, for instance, to control set though parameters
through a web interface or potentially through the command line
interface with something like:

markdown.py -xwikilinks/LINK_URL_TEMPLATE="/~yuri/wiki/" input.txt > output.txt
