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''. 
 
-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.
+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]
 
 
 == Using Processors ==
 
-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''):
-
+To use a processor on a block of text, first delimit the lines using
+a Wiki ''code block'':
+{{{
+{{{
+The lines
+that should be processed...
+}}}
+}}}
+
+Immediately after the `{{{` or on the line just below, 
+add `#!` followed by the ''processor name''.
+
+{{{
+{{{
+#!processorname
+The lines
+that should be processed...
+}}}
+}}}
+
+This is the "shebang" notation, familiar to most UNIX users.
+
+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"`).
+
+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.
+
+

+{{{
 #!html
-&lt;h1 style="color: orange"&gt;This is raw HTML&lt;/h1&gt;
-}}}</pre>
-}}}
-
-'''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).

 == Available Processors ==
+
 The following processors are included in the Trac distribution:
- * '''html''' -- Insert custom HTML in a wiki page. See WikiHtml.
- * '''div''' -- Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content in a <div> element (''since 0.11''). See WikiHtml.
- * '''span''' -- Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content in a <span> element (''since 0.11''). See also WikiHtml.
- * '''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].
- * '''comment''' -- Do not process the text in this section (i.e. contents exist only in the plain text - not in the rendered page).
-
-=== Code Highlighting Support ===
-Trac includes processors to provide inline [wiki:TracSyntaxColoring syntax highlighting] for the following languages:
- * '''c''' -- C
- * '''cpp''' -- C++
- * '''python''' -- Python
- * '''perl''' -- Perl
- * '''ruby''' -- Ruby
- * '''php''' -- PHP
- * '''asp''' -- ASP
- * '''java''' -- Java
- * '''js''' -- Javascript
- * '''sql''' -- SQL
- * '''xml''' -- XML
- * '''sh''' -- Bourne/Bash shell
-
-'''Note:''' ''Trac relies on external software packages for syntax coloring. See TracSyntaxColoring for more info.''
-
-By using the MIME type as processor, it is possible to syntax-highlight the same languages that are supported when browsing source code. For example, you can write:
-{{{
+
+|| '''`#!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). ||
+|| '''`#!rtl`''' || Introduce a Right-To-Left block with appropriate CSS direction and styling ''(since 0.12.2)'' ||
+|||| ||
+||||= '''[=#HTMLrelated 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 or better visual grouping (''since 0.12'') ||
+|| '''`#!table`''' || Can optionally be used for wrapping `#!tr`, `#!td` and `#!th` blocks, for specifying table attributes. One current limitation however is that tables cannot be nested. (''since 0.12'') || 
+|| || See WikiHtml for example usage and more details about these processors. ||
+|||| ||
+||||= '''Other Markups''' =||
+|| '''`#!rst`''' || Trac support for Restructured Text. See WikiRestructuredText. ||
