Support for InterWiki links
(since 0.10)
Definition
An InterWiki link can be used for referring to a Wiki page located in another Wiki system, and by extension, to any object located in any other Web application, provided a simple URL mapping can be done.
Link Syntax
<target_wiki>(:<identifier>)+
The link is composed by the targeted Wiki (or system) name, followed by a column (e.g. MeatBall:), followed by a page specification in the target. Note that, as for InterTrac prefixes, InterWiki prefixes are case insensitive.
The target Wiki URL is looked up in a the InterMapTxt wiki page, modelled after MeatBall:InterMapTxt.
In addition to traditional InterWiki links, where the target is simply appended to the URL, Trac supports parametric InterWiki URLs: identifiers $1, $2, ... in the URL will be replaced by corresponding arguments. The argument list is formed by splitting the page identifier using the ":" separator.
Examples
If the following is an excerpt of the InterMapTxt page:
= InterMapTxt = == This is the place for defining InterWiki prefixes == Currently active prefixes: [[InterWiki]] This page is modelled after the MeatBall:InterMapTxt page. In addition, an optional comment is allowed after the mapping. ---- {{{ PEP http://www.python.org/peps/pep-$1.html # Python Enhancement Proposal $1 TracML http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.trac.general/$1 # Message $1 in Trac Mailing List ... MeatBall http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl? MetaWiki http://sunir.org/apps/meta.pl? MetaWikiPedia http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/ MoinMoin http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ ... }}}
Then,
- MoinMoin:InterWikiMap should be rendered as MoinMoin:InterWikiMap and the title for that link would be "InterWikiMap in MoinMoin"
- TracML:4346 should be rendered as TracML:4346 and the title for that link would be "Message 4346 in Trac Mailing List"
