Translations:Manual:Page content models/1/en

The ContentHandler introduced in MediaWiki 1.21 allows you to add new content models other than wikitext. It makes it possible for wiki pages to be composed of data other than wikitext, and represented in any way — for example: Markdown, reStructuredText, icalendar, or a custom XML format. The display and editing of these content models can be handled in custom ways (e.g. different syntax highlighting, or whole new data-entry forms).
