WikiProcessors

@@ -3 +3 @@
 Processors are WikiMacros designed to provide alternative markup formats for the [TracWiki Wiki engine]. Processors can be thought of as ''macro functions to process user-edited text''. 
 
-Wiki processors can be used in any Wiki text throughout Trac,
-for various different purposes, like:
- - [#CodeHighlightingSupport syntax highlighting] or for rendering text verbatim,
- - rendering [#HTMLrelated Wiki markup inside a context], 
-   like inside <div> blocks or <span> or within <td> or <th> table cells,
- - using an alternative markup syntax, like [wiki:WikiHtml raw HTML] and
-   [wiki:WikiRestructuredText Restructured Text],
-   or [http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ textile]
+The Wiki engine uses processors to allow using [wiki:WikiRestructuredText Restructured Text], [wiki:WikiHtml raw HTML] and [http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ textile] in any Wiki text throughout Trac.
 
 
 == Using Processors ==
 
-To use a processor on a block of text, first delimit the lines using
-a Wiki ''code block'':
+To use a processor on a block of text, use a Wiki code block, selecting a processor by name using ''shebang notation'' (#!), familiar to most UNIX users from scripts.
+
+'''Example 1''' (''inserting raw HTML in a wiki text''):
+
 {{{
-{{{
-The lines
-that should be processed...
-}}}
+#!html
+<pre class="wiki">{{{
+#!html
+&lt;h1 style="color: orange"&gt;This is raw HTML&lt;/h1&gt;
+}}}</pre>
 }}}
 
-Immediately after the `{{{` or on the line just below, 
-add `#!` followed by the ''processor name''.
+'''Results in:'''
+{{{
+#!html
+<h1 style="color: orange">This is raw HTML</h1>
+}}}
+
+Note that since 0.11, such blocks of HTML have to be self-contained, i.e. you can't start an HTML element in one block and close it later in a second block. Use div or span processors for achieving similar effect (see WikiHtml).
+
+----
+
+'''Example 2''' (''inserting Restructured Text in wiki text''):
 
 {{{
-{{{
-#!processorname
-The lines
-that should be processed...
-}}}
+#!html
+<pre class="wiki">{{{
+#!rst
+A header
+--------
+This is some **text** with a footnote [*]_.
+
+.. [*] This is the footnote.
+}}}</pre>
 }}}
 
-This is the "shebang" notation, familiar to most UNIX users.
+'''Results in:'''
+{{{
+#!rst
+A header
+--------
+This is some **text** with a footnote [*]_.
 
-Besides their content, some Wiki processors can also accept ''parameters'',
-which are then given as `key=value` pairs after the processor name, 
-on the same line. If `value` has to contain space, as it's often the case for
-the style parameter, a quoted string can be used (`key="value with space"`).
+.. [*] This is the footnote.
+}}}
+----
+'''Example 3''' (''inserting a block of C source code in wiki text''):
 
-As some processors are meant to process Wiki markup, it's quite possible to
-''nest'' processor blocks.
-You may want to indent the content of nested blocks for increased clarity,
-this extra indentation will be ignored when processing the content.

 == Available Processors ==
-
 The following processors are included in the Trac distribution:
-
- `#!default` :: Present the text verbatim in a preformatted text block. 
-                This is the same as specifying ''no'' processor name
-                (and no `#!`)
- `#!comment` :: Do not process the text in this section (i.e. contents exist
-                only in the plain text - not in the rendered page).
-
-=== HTML related ===
-
- `#!html`        :: Insert custom HTML in a wiki page.
- `#!htmlcomment` :: Insert an HTML comment in a wiki page (''since 0.12'').
-
-Note that `#!html` blocks have to be ''self-contained'',
-i.e. you can't start an HTML element in one block and close it later in a second block. Use the following processors for achieving a similar effect. 
-
-  `#!div` :: Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <div> element
-             (''since 0.11'').
- `#!span` :: Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <span> element 
-             (''since 0.11''). 
-
- `#!td` :: Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <td> element (''since 0.12'')
- `#!th` :: Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <th> element (''since 0.12'') 
- `#!tr` :: Can optionally be used for wrapping `#!td` and `#!th` blocks,
-       either for specifying row attributes of better visual grouping
-       (''since 0.12'')
-
-See WikiHtml for example usage and more details about these processors.
-
-=== Other Markups ===
-
-     `#!rst` :: Trac support for Restructured Text. See WikiRestructuredText.
- `#!textile` :: Supported if [http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/textile Textile] 
-                is installed. 
-                See [http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ a Textile reference].
