MusikAnimal bbd142c118 mode.mediawiki: rename mnemonic to html-entity and deprecate variants
This removes treating an HTML entity in a template name as a separate
token, and thus deprecates the .cm-mw-template-name-mnemonic CSS class.

In CM6 we have to register tokens for them to show, and this one seems
of little use to begin with. HTML entities should always be styled as a
such, especially in page titles where they are treated post-processing.
i.e. [[/dev/null]] links to [[/dev/null]].

The rename to .cm-html-entity and associated code is to better reflect
what it is. $rarr; is a mnemonic form while / is not, but both are
entities.  Deprecations are noted in the README, with the old classes
to be removed later after on-wiki usage has been updated.

Development

As part of the upgrade to CodeMirror 6, CodeMirror now uses an asset bundler, so during development you'll need to run a script to assemble the frontend assets.

Use of CodeMirror 6 is controlled by the wgCodeMirrorV6 configuration setting, or by passing in cm6enable=1 in the URL query string.

You can find the v6 frontend source files in src/, the compiled sources in resources/dist/, and other frontend assets managed by ResourceLoader in resources/*.

Commands

NOTE: Consider using Fresh to run these tasks.

  • npm install to install dependencies.
  • npm start to run the bundler in watch mode, reassembling the files on file change. You'll want to keep this running in a separate terminal during development.
  • npm run build to compile the production assets. You must run this step before sending the patch or CI will fail (so that sources and built assets are in sync).
  • npm test to run the linting tools, JavaScript unit tests, and build checks.
  • npm run test:lint for linting of JS/LESS/CSS.
  • npm run test:lint:js for linting of just JavaScript.
  • npm run test:lint:styles for linting of just Less/CSS.
  • npm run test:i18n for linting of i18n messages with banana-checker.
  • npm run test:unit for the new Jest unit tests.
  • npm run selenium-test for the Selenium tests.
  • npm run test:bundlesize to test if the gzip'd entrypoint is of acceptable size.

Older QUnit tests are in resources/mode/mediawiki/tests/qunit/. These will eventually be moved over to tests/qunit and rewritten for CodeMirror 6.
