3Processors are WikiMacros designed to provide alternative markup formats for the [TracWiki Wiki engine]. Processors can be thought of as ''macro functions to process user-edited text''.
4
5Wiki processors can be used in any Wiki text throughout Trac,
6for various different purposes, like:
7 - [#CodeHighlightingSupport syntax highlighting] or for rendering text verbatim,
8 - rendering [#HTMLrelated Wiki markup inside a context],
9   like inside <div> blocks or <span> or within <td> or <th> table cells,
10 - using an alternative markup syntax, like [wiki:WikiHtml raw HTML] and
11   [wiki:WikiRestructuredText Restructured Text],
12   or [http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ textile]

15== Using Processors ==
16
17To use a processor on a block of text, first delimit the lines using
18a Wiki ''code block'':
19{{{
20{{{
21The lines
22that should be processed...
23}}}
24}}}
25
26Immediately after the `{{{` or on the line just below,
27add `#!` followed by the ''processor name''.
28
29{{{
30{{{
31#!processorname
32The lines
33that should be processed...
34}}}
35}}}
36
37This is the "shebang" notation, familiar to most UNIX users.
38
39Besides their content, some Wiki processors can also accept ''parameters'',
40which are then given as `key=value` pairs after the processor name,
41on the same line. If `value` has to contain space, as it's often the case for
42the style parameter, a quoted string can be used (`key="value with space"`).
43
44As some processors are meant to process Wiki markup, it's quite possible to
45''nest'' processor blocks.
46You may want to indent the content of nested blocks for increased clarity,
47this extra indentation will be ignored when processing the content.

152== Available Processors ==
153
154The following processors are included in the Trac distribution:
155
156|| '''`#!default`''' || Present the text verbatim in a preformatted text block. This is the same as specifying ''no'' processor name (and no `#!`) ||
157|| '''`#!comment`''' || Do not process the text in this section (i.e. contents exist only in the plain text - not in the rendered page). ||
158|||| ||
159||||= '''HTML related''' =||
160|| '''`#!html`''' || Insert custom HTML in a wiki page. ||
161|| '''`#!htmlcomment`''' || Insert an HTML comment in a wiki page (''since 0.12''). ||
162|| || Note that `#!html` blocks have to be ''self-contained'', i.e. you can't start an HTML element in one block and close it later in a second block. Use the following processors for achieving a similar effect.  ||
163|| '''`#!div`''' || Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <div> element (''since 0.11''). ||
164|| '''`#!span`''' || Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <span> element (''since 0.11''). ||
165|| '''`#!td`''' || Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <td> element (''since 0.12'') ||
166|| '''`#!th`''' || Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <th> element (''since 0.12'') ||
167|| '''`#!tr`''' || Can optionally be used for wrapping `#!td` and `#!th` blocks, either for specifying row attributes of better visual grouping (''since 0.12'') ||
168|| || See WikiHtml for example usage and more details about these processors. ||
169|||| ||
170||||= '''Other Markups''' =||
171|| '''`#!rst`''' || Trac support for Restructured Text. See WikiRestructuredText. ||
172|| '''`#!textile`''' || Supported if [http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/textile Textile] is installed. See [http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ a Textile reference]. ||
173|||| ||
174||||= '''Code Highlighting Support''' =||
175|| '''`#!c`''' [[BR]] '''`#!cpp`''' (C++) [[BR]] '''`#!python`''' [[BR]] '''`#!perl`''' [[BR]] '''`#!ruby`''' [[BR]] '''`#!php`''' [[BR]] '''`#!asp`''' [[BR]] '''`#!java`''' [[BR]] '''`#!js`''' (Javascript) [[BR]] '''`#!sql`''' [[BR]] '''`#!xml`''' (XML or HTML) [[BR]] '''`#!sh`''' (!Bourne/Bash shell) [[BR]] '''etc.''' [[BR]] || Trac includes processors to provide inline syntax highlighting for source code in various languages. [[BR]] [[BR]] Trac relies on external software packages for syntax coloring, like [http://pygments.org Pygments]. [[BR]] [[BR]] See TracSyntaxColoring for information about which languages are supported and how to enable support for more languages. ||

178Using the MIME type as processor, it is possible to syntax-highlight the same languages that are supported when browsing source code.

191{{{#!td
192The result will be syntax highlighted HTML code:

250Developing processors is no different from Wiki macros.
251In fact they work the same way, only the usage syntax differs.
252See WikiMacros#DevelopingCustomMacros for more information.
