Wiki rendering in GWT

Question

Client side rendering is useful when we want to use wiki like syntax. Unfortunately I have not found any library which gives wiki syntax rendering in GWT client side.

Does anyone knows such an API/library?

Answer 2

Sounds like you want a Javascript wiki rendering API. There are a couple Mediawiki (Wikipedia syntax) ones listed at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Alternative_parsers.

There are also some Java-based wiki markup parsers; you could simply parse the wiki markup on the server side. Here are some examples:

• JWPL contains a Mediawiki markup parser.
• MathEclipse Java Wikipedia API
• Mylyn
• java-wikipedia-parser

Googling might turn up parsers for other wiki syntaxes, though Mediawiki seems to be pretty well-known.

One of the XWiki developers writes in his blog, that they've developed a GWT based Wiki editor:
