= Wiki Processors

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''. 

Wiki processors can be used in any Wiki text throughout Trac, such as:
 - [#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 [WikiHtml raw HTML] and [WikiRestructuredText Restructured Text] or [http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ textile]

== Using Processors

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 and 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.

== Available Processors

The following processors are included in the Trac distribution:

|| '''`#!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 wiki content inside a <div> element. ||
|| '''`#!span`''' || Wrap wiki content inside a <span> element. ||
|| '''`#!td`''' || Wrap wiki content inside a <td> element. (''since 0.12'') ||
|| '''`#!th`''' || Wrap 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. ||
|| '''`#!textile`''' || Supported if [http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/textile Textile] is installed. See [http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ a Textile reference]. ||
|||| ||
||||= '''[=#CodeHighlightingSupport Code Highlighting Support]''' =||
|| '''`#!c`''' [[BR]] '''`#!cpp`''' (C++) [[BR]] '''`#!python`''' [[BR]] '''`#!perl`''' [[BR]] '''`#!ruby`''' [[BR]] '''`#!php`''' [[BR]] '''`#!asp`''' [[BR]] '''`#!java`''' [[BR]] '''`#!js`''' (Javascript) [[BR]] '''`#!sql`''' [[BR]] '''`#!xml`''' (XML or HTML) [[BR]] '''`#!sh`''' (!Bourne/Bash shell) [[BR]] '''etc.''' [[BR]] || Trac includes processors to provide inline syntax highlighting for source code in various languages. [[BR]] [[BR]] Trac relies on [http://pygments.org Pygments] for syntax coloring. [[BR]] [[BR]] See TracSyntaxColoring for information about which languages are supported and how to enable support for more languages. ||
|||| ||

Since 1.1.2 the default, coding highlighting and MIME-type processors support the argument `lineno` for adding line numbering to the code block. When a value is specified, as in `lineno=3`, the numbering will start at the specified value. When used in combination with the `lineno` argument, the `marks` argument is also supported for highlighting lines. A single line number, set of line numbers and range of line numbers are allowed. For example, `marks=3`, `marks=3-6`, `marks=3,5,7` and `marks=3-5,7` are all allowed. The specified values are relative to the numbered lines, so if `lineno=2` is specified to start the line numbering at 2, `marks=2` will result in the first line being highlighted.

Using the MIME type as processor, it is possible to syntax-highlight the same languages that are supported when browsing source code.

||||= '''MIME Type Processors''' =||
{{{#!tr
{{{#!td
Some examples:
 {{{
{{{#!text/html
<h1>text</h1>
}}}
 }}}
}}}
{{{#!td
The result will be syntax highlighted HTML code:
 {{{#!text/html
<h1>text</h1>
 }}}

The same is valid for all other [TracSyntaxColoring#SyntaxColoringSupport mime types supported].

Developing processors is no different from Wiki macros. In fact, they work the same way, only the usage syntax differs. See WikiMacros#DevelopingCustomMacros for more information.
