[MarkLogic Dev General] Wiki markup parser in XQuery?

[Lee, David]

I would absolutely LOVE such a thing.
Dave Patterson wrote a Wiki (specifically WakkaWiki) parser in Python in order to help me convert my wiki pages from xmlsh.org to docbook ... It actually worked about 90% but I gave up on the project due to structural issues more than markup issues.   I'm now getting help converting the pages using another path ... I think by going from the HTML to docbook instead.
Still ... it would be great.

Problems abound though, its not trivial.   First off there are many wiki variants.   Not all the same.
Second is a subtle hand-off to HTML.  Wiki parsers convert to HTML and rely on HTML to format the text.
If you want to pull *structure* from that it can be tricky.   Line breaks, blank spaces etc really confuse the work.

Anyone know of a Wiki markup parser written in XQuery? Haven't found one from my searching.

Thanks,
Ryan
