Your methods seem to work great, however, my only problem is that the parser seems to replace ampersands with "&" no matter what. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: my last post

That ampersand in quotes is supposed to be &<nowiki> (''i.e.'' the HTML code for an ampersand) --[http://www.sultanik.com/ Evan Sultanik] 09:37, 17 April 2008 (MST) </div> == Evan Sultanik said ... == <div class='commentBlock'> One last try... <nowiki>&

& amp ; (minus the spaces)

Hi Evan,

Yeah, MediaWiki applies some post processing at the very end of everything. It could be that.

If that's the problem, I'd recommend serializing the content that you want inside an HTML comment (as with base64encode), then hook 'ParserAfterTidy' and decode your content.

It's a bit convoluded, granted, but I don't know of another way around MediaWiki's insistence on altering & characters.

I've written about this problem before in my article Raw HTML Output from a Parser Extension. Good luck!

This insertStripItem() looks like an interesting technique. I tried making it work, but I kept seeing various errors. For example, extra <pre> tags still settled into my HTML. Another example, insertStripItem() produces UNIQ-QINU markers when used as an if clause in {{#if:}}. Am I doing something wrong? BTW, I am using mediawiki 1.12.

Hey, great info, thanks.

One question, is this vulnerable like the previous article? Is it possible to make it unusable by non-admin usergroups?

Cheers, thanks

this makes extension handover of html generated links impossible if i got the whole point.

raw html is removed in wiki input for security reasons ($wgRawHtml disabled). to inject raw html with an extension, the following return method is (i think generally) used :

“return $parser->insertStripItem($htmlString, $parser->mStripState);”

(HTMLets-extension uses base64encode/decode to hide html, even more dirty...)

this stores the html string in an array table with a corresponding randomized unique encryption for example like this:

"UNIQ274917e1406dc9e5-item-0--QINU"

at the tidy up at the end, AFTER wiki has removed any other html input, this unique string is replaced back with the raw html behind it. (AT WHAT TIME IS THE RETRANSLATION?)

my problem is: i have such a replaced "UNIQ-html" from another extension as input for my extension. is there a posibility to render the page (get the raw html not the uniq...qinu)before the parser gets into my extension, any flag or operation to make wiki to render the table correspondences before it continues to parse the page? else, i have a return value with the encryption and i was not able to get access to that table.

about this html hiding thing, i know there may be issues i dont know why u made this solution this way and not an easier one, and you wont fix for compatibility reasons the method from

function renderRawHTML( &$parser, $input= ) {

   return array( $input, noparse => true, isHTML => true );

, maybe a better solution would be to make a new flag like isHTML_2 =>true to return or render the html for direct reuse of another extension etc and to make the page backtranscoding to ignore such tagged html?

im sorry, did figure out how to retranslate in raw html input. you can access the data array where the correspondances are stored and retranslate the UNIQ...QINU to the raw-html as follows:

$url = ( $parser->mStripState->general->data[$url]);

where $url is the given UNIQ-string and $parser is the used parser. $url contains after this operation something like this: <a href="link>linktitle</a>
