Well, I'm afraid there *is* no easy way with the current state of the
software. The file you need to "play with" is includes/Parser.php
(which is not, technically, a "parser").

I was wracking my brains trying to think of an example where there
isn't all sorts of special handling code in with the regular
expressions which are essentially all the "parser" consists of. And
then I came upon this function, apparently never called; create
something like this, actually call it from somewhere like
internalParse() [be careful with what gets processed before or after
it]; do plenty of testing (there's a maintenance/parserTests.php which
you can run; make sure you create an AdminSettings.php first); and Bob
may very well be your uncle...

function doExponent ( $text ) {
$fname = 'Parser::doExponent';
wfProfileIn( $fname);
$text =
preg_replace('/\^\^(.*)\^\^/','<small>^\\1</small>', $text);
wfProfileOut( $fname);
return $text;
}

Come to think, that's not so hard after all - although I don't
guarantee it will really be as simple as that.

Come again?

so you want
stuff >>>foobar<<< more stuff
to be parsed as
stuff <em>foobar</em> more stuff
?

That's allready possible using the double single quote syntax, that is:
stuff ''foobar'' more stuff

but I'm sure it's possible (though quite possibly difficult). My
sloshing through the parser didn't go well.

Hello,

The doExponent() function is indeed never called. It's a simple case I
added in the code just in case the community decided to use a new
^^foobar^^ syntax. At least the good point is that it provides an useful
example to add a new syntax token :o)

cheers,
