Ed Sanders 3148e28f69 Wikitext mode: Use action=parse for preview
Using Parsoid HTML in the 2017WTE has enabled us to iron
out lots of rendering bugs over the past few years.

In that time Parsoid has been moved into PHP, and at some point
we also become the default parser.

Also more extensions have started to use content transform hooks,
which are only supported by the action API.

As a result it now seems like a good time to migrate back to the
content API instead of building the preview from Parsoid HTML.

Bug: T154844

VisualEditor

VisualEditor provides a visual editor for wiki pages. It is written in JavaScript and runs in a web browser.

It uses the Parsoid parser to convert wikitext documents to annotated HTML which the VisualEditor is able to load, modify and emit back to Parsoid at which point it is converted back into wikitext.

For more information about these projects, check out the VisualEditor and Parsoid pages on mediawiki.

Developing and installing

For information on installing VisualEditor on a local wiki, please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor

For information about running tests and contributing code to VisualEditor, see CONTRIBUTING.md. Patch submissions are reviewed and managed with Gerrit. There is also API documentation available for the VisualEditor.
