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:

• source_type

  One of "raw_html", "from_uri", or "sample_html".

• dialect

  Any installed dialect, eg "MediaWiki".

• base_uri

  Base URL to be used for converting relative links to absolute ones.

• 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.

• show_parsed_html

  If enabled, an additional textarea containing the parsed HTML will be displayed.

• escape_entities

  If enabled, unsafe HTML entities (``<'', ``>'', and ``&'') will be encoded using HTML::Entities.

• 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.
