Hi,

In order to fix a problem with the line break plugin[1] I need to ensure a space occurs between text and line endings in the preparsed wiki data. I can do this by using the new IO_WIKIPAGE_READ event[2] but that means I am modifying the data when its being read for other purposes besides parsing for display.

I think there is probably enough separation between the two uses to warrant an event which can supply preprocessing of raw wiki data along these lines[3] as it will also catch any inline uses of the parser.

event: PARSER_TEXT_PARSE  (or perhaps PARSER_TEXT_GETINSTRUCTIONS)
data:  raw wiki text
action: parse the text and generate the instructions list
preventable: ? probably
signalled: p_get_instructions
result: instruction list

Any comments?

Cheers,

Chris

[1] to avoid messing up double new lines the plugin can't grab a new line when its the first character being processed - which also occurs when dokuwiki syntax occurs immediately prior to a line break.

[2] great addition Ben.

[3] the recent <IF***> discussion could also make use of access to the data immediately before it is parsed to strip out any content that shouldn't be included.
