Class MarkupFormatter

java.lang.Object
hudson.model.AbstractDescribableImpl<MarkupFormatter>
hudson.markup.MarkupFormatter
All Implemented Interfaces:
ExtensionPoint, Describable<MarkupFormatter>
Direct Known Subclasses:
EscapedMarkupFormatter
public abstract class MarkupFormatter extends AbstractDescribableImpl<MarkupFormatter> implements ExtensionPoint
Generalization of a function that takes text with some markup and converts that to HTML. Such markup is often associated with Wiki.

Use of markup, as opposed to using raw HTML, ensures certain degree of security.

This is an extension point in Hudson, allowing plugins to implement different markup formatters.

Implement the following methods to enable and control CodeMirror syntax highlighting public String getCodeMirrorMode() // return null to disable CodeMirror dynamically public String getCodeMirrorConfig()

Views

This extension point must have a valid config.jelly that feeds the constructor. TODO: allow MarkupFormatter to control the UI that the user uses to edit.

      public abstract void translate(@CheckForNull String markup, @NonNull Writer output) throws IOException
      Given the text, converts that to HTML according to whatever markup rules implicit in the implementation class.

      Multiple threads can call this method concurrently with different inputs.

      Parameters:
      output - Formatted HTML should be sent to this output.
      Throws:
      IOException

      public String getHelpUrl()
      Gets the URL of the help file. This help will shown next to the text area of the description, and is ideal of describing what the allowed syntax is. By default, we look for colocated help-syntax.html.

    • getDescriptor

      public MarkupFormatterDescriptor getDescriptor()
      Description copied from class: AbstractDescribableImpl
      By default looks for a nested class (conventionally named DescriptorImpl) implementing Descriptor and marked with Extension.

      Gets the descriptor for this instance.

      Descriptor is a singleton for every concrete Describable implementation, so if a.getClass() == b.getClass() then by default a.getDescriptor() == b.getDescriptor() as well. (In rare cases a single implementation class may be used for instances with distinct descriptors.)

      Specified by:
      getDescriptor in interface Describable<MarkupFormatter>
      Overrides:
      getDescriptor in class AbstractDescribableImpl<MarkupFormatter>
