The parser was written by us, in php, based off the wiki system (but we didn't like how that worked to we threw it away and built our own from the ground up)
everything is stored in a MySQL database in the non-parsed format.
here's some of the current (not cleaned up) code running the parser.
PHP Code:
function panda_parse($text) {
global $panda;
// If $text is in string form, split it into an array of lines.
if (is_string($text)) {
$text = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $text);
$text = str_replace("\r", "\n", $text);
$text = explode("\n", $text);
}
// Prepare an array to hold the parsed lines.
$parsed = array();
// Set up a variable to keep track of what tag we're in.
$this_tag = '';
// Parse each line.
foreach ($text as $i => $line) {
// We'll need access to the lines on either side of the one we're parsing.
$prev_line = $text[$i - 1];
$next_line = $text[$i + 1];
// Prepare a few regular expressions to make things a bit neater later on.
$regex_table = '/^((!!|\|\|).+?)+(!!|\|\|)$/';
$regex_img = '/\{\{(.+?)\|(.+?)(\|(\d+)(\|(\d+))?)?(\|left|\|right|\|inline)?\}\}/';
$regex_just_img = '/^\{\{(.+?)\|(.+?)(\|(\d+)(\|(\d+))?)?(\|left|\|right|\|inline)?\}\}$/';
// Dashes.
while (preg_match('/ ?-- ?/', $line, $m)) {

}
as you can see, it's pretty crazy, and takes a ton of debugging (the first 100 or so issues were forgotten semicolons!)
we're working on cleaning up this code, but anyone who wants it can use it, but PLEASE put a comment in the HTML of your code that says that you are using some of our stuff, thanks!
