Hi Michael,
MK> - thoughts on the technical process of moving _one_ page
MK> - an action plugin gathers all meta data prior to moving the page
MK> - cached instructions of the to be moved page(s) are read and modified
MK> (fixing links etc..)
MK> - according to the choosen actions, pages linking back to the moved
MK> page are processed as well (read cached instructions, fix references
MK> etc.)
MK> - the instructions are then turned into normal wiki text again (using
MK> a reverse renderer which translates instructions into wiki text)
The last bullet point can cause some trouble. I don't know if anybody else does
it but in some of my
plugins I do instruction shuffling or even inject extra instructions after the
page is parsed. Maybe
it's not the way PARSER_HANDLER_DONE event was supposed to be used but the fact
is that there are
some nutjobs (like myself) who mess with the instruction stream. Rendering the
instructions may
result in a file that is quite different from original wiki text.
I think more reliable way would be to use instructions to get offsets of the
links in the raw wiki
text and based on that patch the text files as needed.
