MODIFICATION HISTORY

Discussion

Nice simple solution!

Does this allow nesting within other types of markup? What I'd like to do is put a link as a heading, so would this create a heading called "FrontPage", which when clicked on takes you to the front page?

= [[MiniPage(["FrontPage"])]] =

• No, this will never work because headings cannot consist of markup. And a macro call is markup.

Couldn't you use include() for that?

[[Include(FrontPage, "FrontPage", 1, titlesonly)]]

Please Note: the above example did not work for at least one user (me) running moinmoin 1.5.

• please show the failure -- ReimarBauer 2006-11-19 18:49:21

Is there a possibility to include code parsers like that:

[[MiniPage({{{test1}}})]]

Is there a version of MiniPage that works on version 1.5.7? I used one of your examples and got the error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'getParser' (Thanks in advance)

see MacroMarket/MiniPage-1.3.3-1.py getParser belongs to wikiutil changes for 1.6dev -- ReimarBauer 2007-04-10 06:54:34

Looks like "MiniPage" is broken on 1.7.0. TypeError: renderText() got an unexpected keyword argument 'line_anchors' (well, should be logged in first) -- MelaEckenfels 2008-06-30 11:04:11

• Changing the last line from

   return wikiutil.renderText(request, Parser, text, line_anchors=False) 

  to

   return wikiutil.renderText(request, Parser, text) 

  works for me on 1.7.1.

  But I'm quite new to MoinMoin and Python, so use with care -- CarstenFrewert 2008-08-04 14:47:08

  • Thanks for the hint, need probably to upload some other plugins too -- ReimarBauer 2008-08-04 17:41:37

Not sure what the changes in 1.8.4-6 are for: if I use "=" in minipage text, I get a traceback, e.g.

<<MiniPage(\n * list item 1 = hello\n * list item 2 = there)>>

Results in:

With 1.7.1-5 this worked as expected. This is presumably due to the un-escaping of the "="? (this is with moin 1.9.3) -- Paul Howarth 2011-10-12 09:39:00

Have you tried

<<MiniPage("\n * list item 1 = hello\n * list item 2 = there")>>

I look at it later in detail, This is related to changes of the paramter parser. Thanks for reporting. -- ReimarBauer 2011-10-14 06:04:11

The 1.9 version seems to work nicely, thanks. -- Paul Howarth 2012-03-30 11:08:00
