NAME
HTML::WikiConverter::WebApp - Web interface to HTML::WikiConverter
SYNOPSIS
Inside the index.cgi instance script (which is included with this distribution):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use HTML::WikiConverter::WebApp;
my %config = (
template_path => '/path/to/web/templates',
);
HTML::WikiConverter::WebApp->new( PARAMS => \%config )->run;
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a CGI::Application interface to HTML::WikiConverter and all installed dialect modules.
Refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
QUERY PARAMETERS
This application accepts a number of query parameters to control its behavior. The most basic is the run mode parameter, "m". This
application can be in one of two run modes: "new" or "convert". (These correspond to the "new_page()" and "output_page()" methods,
respectively.) "new" causes a new page to be displayed, while "convert" displays the results of html-to-wiki conversion.
Additional query parameters can be passed independent of run mode:
o source_type
One of "raw_html", "from_uri", or "sample_html".
o dialect
Any installed dialect, eg "MediaWiki".
o base_uri
Base URL to be used for converting relative links to absolute ones.
o wiki_uri
Template for wiki URLs. When scanning the HTML source, if a URL (as in an "a href" or "img src" attribute value) is found matching this
template, it will be treated to a link to a wiki article/image. Consult "ATTRIBUTES" in HTML::WikiConverter for more information.
Note that this is a bit less flexible than using the "wiki_uri" attribute directly in HTML::WikiConverter. That attribute allows
multiple templates, allows coderefs, and regexps, etc. This option only accepts a single scalar representing a very simple wiki URL
template.
o show_parsed_html
If enabled, an additional textarea containing the parsed HTML will be displayed.
o escape_entities
If enabled, unsafe HTML entities ("<", ">", and "&") will be encoded using HTML::Entities.
o format
One of "html" or "xml". Determines the type of output displayed by this application.
METHODS
setup
Sets up the app for CGI::Application.
new_page
Corresponds to the "new" run mode. Returns a blank form. If arguments are available on the CGI query string, these are used as default
values for the form fields.
output_page
Corresponds to the "convert" run mode. Same as "new_page()" but returns the wiki markup for the provided html as well.
load_template
Loads the specified HTML::Template template.
display_error
Error-catching method called by CGI::Application if a run mode fails for any reason. Displays a basic form with a styled error message up
top.
