Issues relating to the legacy process that converts wikitext syntax into HTML. This project is part of the core MediaWiki software itself.
Components covered by this project includes:
- classes in the parser/ component, such as Parser, CoreTagHooks.
- Parser output handling, such as ParserOutput, and Sanitizer.
- Parser output caching such as ParserOutputAccess, ParserCache and and RevisionOutputCache.
The following parser features have their own project instead:
- MediaWiki-Parser-Templates
- MediaWiki-Gallery
- Tidy (removed in 1.33; superseded by RemexHtml)
The in-progress replacement parser is tracked under Parsoid.
The simple wikitext parser used by the mw.message(...).parse() JavaScript function is part of MediaWiki-Internationalization.
