New Extension Written - WikiLogic

Post #1 of 3 (329 views)

I have written an extension to make it easy to write Formal Logic into
wikitext. It isn't tested yet, and could do with some looking over. And
testing. The basic premise could be expanded to cover basic maths too. Put
simply it's an informal parser (where something like LaTeX is a very rigidly
formal parser that you have to learn - this one should be intuitive).

We will have to define a work package to consolidate integration work
on extensions, including WikiTeX, Graphviz, etc. soon. Besides
security and functionality review, we should survey the field of
available and potentially needed future extensions. Perhaps this would
be something for Tim to work on soon -- Brion is pretty occupied with
other key priorities.

As a developer at least on the client side, I'd be interested in looking
into this WikiLogic. I'd post on the talk page but it is still not yet
active.

This seems like an interesting alternative over just adding more items to
the cluttered wiki mark up box.

It would be nice to have some sort of unified forum to discuss extensions
before even asking developers, as they are often busy and unwilling to
impliment something that may not have wide support/use.
