title: WikiText parser mode transitions
|
|
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
|
|
|
|
This is a <<.em rough>> diagram whose lines mostly correspond to the parser mode transitions described below:
|
|
<$railroad text="""
|
|
{<"pragma mode">
|
|
{(
|
|
{<"inline mode"> +} |
|
|
({<"block mode">
|
|
+("<<<" | "@@" | "$$")
|
|
}
|
|
"other block mode start punct")
|
|
{<"inline mode"> +}
|
|
)
|
|
+(
|
|
"block mode close punctuation" |
|
|
("blank line" "html open tag")
|
|
)}
|
|
+("transclude widget" | "macrocall")
|
|
}
|
|

|
|
|
|
!! Start mode
|
|
|
|
By default the parser starts in [[block mode|Block Mode WikiText]]. However, a tiddler can instead be transcluded with [[inline mode|Inline Mode WikiText]] in which case [[block mode WikiText|Block Mode WikiText]] will not be recognised.
|
|
|
|
At the start of text only, the parser will also recognise any [[pragma mode WikiText|Pragmas]].
|
|
|
|
!! Transitions from pragma mode
|
|
|
|
At the start of text, the parser will recognise any [[pragma|Pragmas]]. If none are found then it will move to [[inline|Inline Mode WikiText]] or [[block|Block Mode WikiText]] mode depending on the transclusion mode. If any [[pragma|Pragmas]] are found then it will continue looking for [[pragma|Pragmas]] until it finds one or more blank lines not followed by the start of a new pragma.
|
|
|
|
!! Transitions from block mode
|
|
|
|
When the parser encounters most [[block mode|Block Mode WikiText]] start punctuation it transitions to [[inline mode|Inline Mode WikiText]]. This means
|
|
he text enclosed by most [[block mode|Block Mode WikiText]] constructs will be parsed using [[inline mode|Inline Mode WikiText]].
|
|
|
|
<<.tip """The start "punctuation" for a paragraph is "invisible". Even for paragraphs the parser moves to [[inline mode|Inline Mode WikiText]]""">>
|
|
|
|
However, there are a few constructs whose enclosed text is parsed using [[block mode|Block Mode WikiText]]:
|
|
|
|
* [[Multi-line block quotes|Block Quotes in WikiText]]
|
|
* [[Multi-line style blocks|Styles and Classes in WikiText]]
|
|
* [[Typed blocks|Typed Blocks in WikiText]]
|
|
|
|
When the start punctuation for these are encountered, the enclosed text will continue to be parsed in [[block mode|Block Mode WikiText]].
|
|
|
|
[[Horizontal rules|Horizontal Rules in WikiText]] are another special case. They do not enclose any text, so there is no opportunity for the parser to transition to [[inline mode|Inline Mode WikiText]].
|
|
|
|
Opening [[widget|Widgets in WikiText]] or [[HTML|HTML in WikiText]] tags provide another way the parser can transition. When such a tag is <<.em not>> followed by a blank line, then the contents enclosed by the tag will be parsed in [[inline mode|Inline Mode WikiText]]. See the [[HTML examples|WikiText parser mode: HTML examples]].
|
|
|
|
!! Transitions from inline mode
|
|
|
|
* The parser will move back to [[block mode|Block Mode WikiText]] after the end of a line which terminates [[block mode|Block Mode WikiText]] ~WikiText. In other words, when the block mode close punctuation is encountered.
|
|
* When the opening [[widget|Widgets in WikiText]] or [[HTML|HTML in WikiText]] tag is followed by a blank line, then the contents enclosed by the tag will be parsed in [[block mode|Block Mode WikiText]]. See the [[HTML examples|WikiText parser mode: HTML examples]].
|
|
* Transcluded text and text pulled in via a macro call can transition the parser away from [[inline mode|Inline Mode WikiText]]. See [[transclusion examples|WikiText parser mode: transclusion examples]] and [[macro examples|WikiText parser mode: macro examples]] for more details. |
