Wiki Processors
Processors are WikiMacros designed to provide alternative markup formats for the Trac Wiki engine. Processors can be thought of as macro functions to process user-edited text.
The wiki engine uses processors to allow using Restructured Text and raw HTML in any wiki text throughout Trac.
Using Processors
To use a processor on a block of text, use a wiki blockquote, selecting a processor by name using 'hashbang notation' (#!), familiar to most UNIX users from scripts.
Example 1 (inserting raw HTML in a wiki text):
{{{
#!html
<h1 style="color: orange">This is raw HTML</h1>
}}}
Results in:
This is raw HTML
Example 2 (inserting Restructured Text in wiki text):
{{{
#!rst
A header
--------
This is some **text** with a footnote [*]_.
.. [*] This is the footnote.
}}}
Results in:
A header -------- This is some **text** with a footnote [*]_. .. [*] This is the footnote.
Example 3 (inserting a block of C source code in wiki text):
{{{
#!c
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
}}}
Results in:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
Available Processors
The following processors are included in the Trac distribution:
- html -- Insert custom HTML in a wiki page. See WikiHtml.
- rst -- Trac support for Restructured Text. See WikiRestructuredText.
Source Code Support
Trac includes processors to provide inline syntax highlighting for these languages:
- c -- C
- cpp -- C++
- python -- Python
- perl -- Perl
- ruby -- Ruby
- php -- PHP
- asp --- ASP
- sql -- SQL
- xml -- XML
Note: Trac relies on external software packages for syntax coloring. See TracSyntaxColoring for more info.

Advanced Topics: Developing Processor Macros
Developing processors is no different than WikiMacros. In fact they work the same way, only the usage syntax differs. See WikiMacros for more information.
Example: (Restructured Text Processor):
from docutils.core import publish_string
def execute(hdf, text):
html = publish_string(text, writer_name = 'html')
return html[html.find('<body>')+6:html.find('</body>')].strip()
