Possible to write HTML comments into wiki pages?

[quinn@…]

I'm finding that the HTML WikiProcessor strips-out comments. Is there any way to include HTML comments on a wiki page? The need is to paste in something like the machine-readable code generated by Creative Commons:

Have you tried with 0.11? I think this should now work.

[quinn@…]

I have not. I look forward to its release. Cheers!

here's an HTML comment (between the arrows):

Appears to be stripped in 0.11. Maybe there could be a special htmlcomment processor for this?

Seems like a good case for a CC license macro.

Patch against trunk adding a htmlcomment wiki processor

[rblank]

The patch above adds a new htmlcomment wiki processor that allows embedding HTML comments, together with the relevant unit tests. Use it as follows:

{{{
#!htmlcomment
This is an HTML comment <em>with tags &amp; entities</em>.
}}}

This would generate the following block in the output:

<!--
This is an HTML comment <em>with tags &amp; entities</em>.
-->

Christian, is that what you had in mind? If so, let me know and I'll commit to trunk and update the documentation.

Yes, please commit (and document as minor feature for the wiki in TracDev/ReleaseNotes/0.12).

...right. You're too fast :-)

Should I also add the new processor to WikiProcessors?

Sure, and you could also add an example in WikiHtml.

Done.

And BTW: welcome back ;-)
