561524 - [k] Parse (new) Wiki markup in new forums

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(support.mozilla.org :: Knowledge Base Software, task)

Description

[James Socol [:jsocol, :james]]

We need to find and integrate a mediawiki parser. At a minimum, we need to cover the following for this milestone:

* ''italics''
* '''bold'''
* bulleted
** lists
# ordered
## lists
* [[KB Links]]
* [external links]

We can skip advanced, wiki-dependent features for now, like {{templates}}.

James did the initial research on this and found py-wikimarkup:
http://github.com/dcramer/py-wikimarkup

I'll start from that and see where it goes.

Merged and pushed:

Build #67 (not as cool as 66):

QA: I've done some basic styling of the markup, but tweaking may still be needed. We're using an external parser (py-wikimarkup, link above), so there may also be some HTML issues, e.g. HTML output is not what you would expect from given markup. Just file new bugs for instances you find wrong or unstyled properly.

Verified FIXED (as a feature, it works).  I'll attach a screenshot in a second.
