HTML::WikiConverter::WebApp - Web interface to HTML::WikiConverter

Inside the index.cgi instance script (which is included with this distribution):

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use HTML::WikiConverter::WebApp;

  my %config = (
    template_path => '/path/to/web/templates',
  );

  HTML::WikiConverter::WebApp->new( PARAMS => \%config )->run;

This module provides a CGI::Application interface to HTML::WikiConverter and all installed dialect modules.

Refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.

This application accepts a number of query parameters to control its behavior. The most basic is the run mode parameter, m. This application can be in one of two run modes: "new" or "convert". (These correspond to the new_page() and output_page() methods, respectively.) "new" causes a new page to be displayed, while "convert" displays the results of html-to-wiki conversion.

Additional query parameters can be passed independent of run mode:

* source_type

One of "raw_html", "from_uri", or "sample_html".

* dialect

Any installed dialect, eg "MediaWiki".

* base_uri

Base URL to be used for converting relative links to absolute ones.

* wiki_uri

Template for wiki URLs. When scanning the HTML source, if a URL (as in an a href or img src attribute value) is found matching this template, it will be treated to a link to a wiki article/image. Consult ATTRIBUTES in HTML::WikiConverter for more information.

Note that this is a bit less flexible than using the wiki_uri attribute directly in HTML::WikiConverter. That attribute allows multiple templates, allows coderefs, and regexps, etc. This option only accepts a single scalar representing a very simple wiki URL template.

* show_parsed_html

If enabled, an additional textarea containing the parsed HTML will be displayed.

* escape_entities

If enabled, unsafe HTML entities ("<", ">", and "&") will be encoded using HTML::Entities.

* format

One of "html" or "xml". Determines the type of output displayed by this application.

Sets up the app for CGI::Application.

Corresponds to the new run mode. Returns a blank form. If arguments are available on the CGI query string, these are used as default values for the form fields.

Corresponds to the convert run mode. Same as new_page() but returns the wiki markup for the provided html as well.

Loads the specified HTML::Template template.

Error-catching method called by CGI::Application if a run mode fails for any reason. Displays a basic form with a styled error message up top.
