HTML::Pipeline WikiLink Gem

An HTML::Pipeline filter for handling WikiMedia-style wiki links.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'html-pipeline-wiki-link'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install html-pipeline-wiki-link

This library is designed as an extension of the HTML::Pipeline system for creating pipelines of text conversions. It can work on its own or in conjunction with other filters descended from HTML::Pipeline::Filter.

To use this filter on its own:

require 'html/pipeline/wiki_link'

filter = HTML::Pipeline::WikiLinkFilter.new('Some text with a [[Link]] in it.')
filter.call

Filters can be combined into a pipeline which causes each filter to hand its output to the next filter's input. For example, you could support wiki links in Markdown by creating a pipeline like this:

pipeline = HTML::Pipeline.new [
  HTML::Pipeline::MarkdownFilter,
  HTML::Pipeline::WikiLinkFilter
]

result = pipeline.call <<-CODE
This is some **Markdown** with a [[Link]] in it!
CODE

The wiki link filter supports the standard link types:

• [[Link]]
• [[Link|Description]]
