Contents

[edit] Purpose

Provides services to parser function extensions which require inserting content after the parsing phase.

This extension is meant to serve other extensions i.e. it does not provide end-user functionality by itself.

[edit] Motivation

Parser functions can insert content during the parsing phase albeit not raw content i.e. content which should end-up untouched in the output page.

This extension allows for registering raw content which will replace anchors in the parsed wikitext.

[edit] Notes

[edit] Sandbox

You are invited in the author's sandbox to try-out some of his extensions.

  1. ↑ The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
    Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed.
  3. ↑ Modifications to LocalSettings.php is only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
