Roan Kattouw cf17789985 Introduce newFromDocumentReplace() transaction builder
Replaces newFromNodeReplacement(). newFromNodeReplacement was very
simplistic and didn't support metadata or internal list items, so
if you had comments or references inside of the data you were editing
(reference contents or an image caption), they'd get mangled.

With this, you can do:
newDoc = doc.getDocumentSlice( node );
// Edit newDoc
tx = ve.dm.Transaction.newFromDocumentReplace( doc, node, newDoc );
surface.change( newDoc );

and that takes care of metadata, internal list items, and things like
references that reference internal list items.

ve.dm.Document.js:
* In getDocumentSlice(), store a reference to the original document
  and the number of items in its InternalList at the time of slicing
  in the created slice. This is used for reconciliation when the
  modified slice is injected back into the parent document with
  newFromDocumentReplace().

ve.dm.InternalList.js:
* Add a method for merging in another InternalList. This provides a
  mapping from old to new InternalList indexes so the linear model data
  being injected by newFromDocumentReplace() can have its InternalList
  indexes remapped.

ve.dm.Transaction.js:
* Replace newFromNodeReplacement() with newFromDocumentReplace()

ve.ui.MWMediaEditDialog.js, ve.ui.MWReferenceDialog.js:
* Use getDocumentSlice/newFromDocumentReplace for editing captions/refs
* Change insertion code path to insert an empty internalItem/caption, then
  newFromDocumentReplace into that
* Add empty internalList to new mini-documents

ve/test/dm/ve.dm.Transaction.test.js:
* Replace newFromNodeReplacement tests with newFromDocumentReplace tests

ve-mw/test/dm/ve.dm.Transaction.test.js (new):
* Add tests for newFromDocumentReplace with mwReference nodes

ve.dm.mwExample.js:
* Add data for newFromDocumentReplace with mwReference tests

VisualEditor.hooks.php:
* Add new test file

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 CODING.md. Patch submissions are reviewed and managed with Gerrit. There is also API documentation available for the VisualEditor.
