Wiki Processors
Processors are WikiMacros designed to provide alternative markup formats for the Wiki engine. Processors can be thought of as macro functions to process user-edited text.
Wiki processors can be used in any Wiki text throughout Trac, such as:
- syntax highlighting or for rendering text verbatim
- rendering Wiki markup inside a context, like inside <div> blocks or <span> or within <td> or <th> table cells
- using an alternative markup syntax, like raw HTML and Restructured Text or textile
Using Processors
To use a processor on a block of text, first delimit the lines using a Wiki code block:
{{{
The lines
that should be processed...
}}}
Immediately after the {{{ or on the line just below, add #! followed by the processor name:
{{{
#!processorname
The lines
that should be processed...
}}}
This is the "shebang" notation, familiar to most UNIX users.
Besides their content, some Wiki processors can also accept parameters, which are then given as key=value pairs after the processor name and on the same line. If value has to contain space, as it's often the case for the style parameter, a quoted string can be used (key="value with space").
As some processors are meant to process Wiki markup, it's quite possible to nest processor blocks. You may want to indent the content of nested blocks for increased clarity, this extra indentation will be ignored when processing the content.
Examples
| Wiki Markup | Display |
|---|---|
| |
{{{
#!html
<h1 style="color: grey">This is raw HTML</h1>
}}}
| This is raw HTML |
| |
{{{#!div style="background: #ffd; border: 3px ridge"
This is an example of embedded "code" block:
{{{
#!python
def hello():
return "world"
}}}
}}}
| This is an example of embedded "code" block: def hello(): return "world" |
| |
{{{
#!html
<form action="/query" method="get"><div>
<input type="text" name="keywords" value="~" size="30"/>
<input type="submit" value="Search by Keywords"/>
<!-- To control what fields show up use hidden fields
<input type="hidden" name="col" value="id"/>
<input type="hidden" name="col" value="summary"/>
<input type="hidden" name="col" value="status"/>
<input type="hidden" name="col" value="milestone"/>
<input type="hidden" name="col" value="version"/>
<input type="hidden" name="col" value="owner"/>
<input type="hidden" name="col" value="priority"/>
<input type="hidden" name="col" value="component"/>
-->
</div></form>
}}}

Available Processors
The following processors are included in the Trac distribution:
#!default | Present the text verbatim in a preformatted text block. This is the same as specifying no processor name (and no #!).
|
#!comment | Do not process the text in this section, i.e. contents exist only in the plain text - not in the rendered page. |
#!rtl | Introduce a Right-To-Left block with appropriate CSS direction and styling. (since 0.12.2) |
#!html | Insert custom HTML in a wiki page. |
#!htmlcomment | Insert an HTML comment in a wiki page. (since 0.12) |
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.
| |
#!div | Wrap wiki content inside a <div> element. |
#!span | Wrap wiki content inside a <span> element. |
#!td | Wrap wiki content inside a <td> element. (since 0.12) |
#!th | Wrap wiki content inside a <th> element. (since 0.12) |
#!tr | Can optionally be used for wrapping #!td and #!th blocks, either for specifying row attributes or better visual grouping. (since 0.12)
|
#!table | Can optionally be used for wrapping #!tr, #!td and #!th blocks, for specifying table attributes. One current limitation however is that tables cannot be nested. (since 0.12)
|
| See WikiHtml for example usage and more details about these processors. | |
| Other Markups | |
#!rst | Trac support for Restructured Text. See WikiRestructuredText. |
#!textile | Supported if Textile is installed. See a Textile reference. |
| Code Highlighting Support | |
#!c #!cpp (C++) #!python #!perl #!ruby #!php #!asp #!java #!js (Javascript) #!sql #!xml (XML or HTML) #!sh (Bourne/Bash shell) etc. | Trac includes processors to provide inline syntax highlighting for source code in various languages. Trac relies on Pygments for syntax coloring. See TracSyntaxColoring for information about which languages are supported and how to enable support for more languages. |
Using the MIME type as processor, it is possible to syntax-highlight the same languages that are supported when browsing source code.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Some examples: {{{#!text/html
<h1>text</h1>
}}}
| The result will be syntax highlighted HTML code: <h1>text</h1> The same is valid for all other mime types supported. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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