Based on the research carried out in WikiTransformation Usages, this document seeks to draw up with a PHP interface for exposing equivalent functionality to how WikiTransformation is used. This way, we can abstract the wikitext backend used based on a configuration flag, easing our transition into using ftml instead of Text_Wiki.
See https://scuttle.atlassian.net/browse/WJ-363.
The proposed interface, in PHP psuedo-code, could look like this:
enum WikitextMode {
FEED,
LIST,
PAGE,
FORUM_POST,
DIRECT_MESSAGE,
}
function __construct(WikitextMode $mode);
function renderHtml(string $wikitext): HtmlOutput;
function renderText(string $wikitext): TextOutput;
The WikiTransformation::purifyHtml static method will be moved to a new HTML utility class.
