I have a Python web application (Django, specifically). I'm reading in some data from a Trac database (where the descriptions use wiki formatting) and displaying it as HTML. I considered the markdown module, but realised that Trac wiki formatting and markdown are really quite different. Is there a module for Django, or a Python package that supports the wiki formatting that Trac uses?

Update:

Looks like I was a little hasty with my vote to close - while the other ticket looks similar, my question is more to do with Trac wiki formatting. Thanks to petantik for the link!

The below links shows a snippet which imports trac markup and makes a django template filter from it

  • Spot on, thanks. I had to read up on custom template tags (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/), and install trac into my site-packages (on my dev pc), but the snippet works a treat! – Nick Bolton Jan 27 '10 at 01:44
  • Interestingly, this does not add `
    ` tags for new lines where Trac would. All the other formatting works though (bullet points, etc), I wonder why it's not the same for new lines...     – Nick Bolton Jan 27 '10 at 01:52
  • Solved! The snippet does not add `
    ` because `escape_newlines` is `False` by default on the `generate` function. To fix, alter the code like so -- `return mark_safe(HtmlFormatter(env, context, s).generate(escape_newlines=True))`     – Nick Bolton Jan 27 '10 at 02:03
  • Ah, that's great news. I learn so much myself from answering questions on here :) – petantik Jan 27 '10 at 11:41

I have made a plugin for Django-CMS which support Trac wiki syntax, with macros and everything else you expect from Trac:
