Preserve wiki formatting within colored text

That should be possible as the TracWikiMacros? page says we can do this:

  text = "whatever wiki markup you want, even containing other macros"
  # Convert Wiki markup to HTML, new style
  out = StringIO()
  Formatter(self.env, formatter.context).format(text, out)
  return Markup(out.getvalue())

That link should have been http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiMacros#expand_macrodetails

#7696 closed as a duplicate.

possible patch for this ticket

I uploaded a possible solution for this ticket. All simple Wiki formatting should work (like bold, italic, links to tickets, etc.). But it seems that no macros are working.

So this example is working with that patch:

[[Color(lime,None,wiki,This is ''just'' an '''simple''' test, for more info see #7696 or TitleIndex)]]

This example however is not working (it just prints "recent changes: [[RecentChanges(,3" in lime background):

[[Color(lime,None,wiki,recent changes: [[RecentChanges(,3)]])]]

another patch: it is now also usable as WikiProcessor

I added another possible patch, which allows using it as processor. And in that you can use wiki processors and wiki formatting.

another patch, which have rewritten most of the plugins code

Python file, identical when merging with ColorMacro_1605_processor2.patch

I saw just now, that the functionality, which is provided by ColorMacro is already implemented as default in Trac, see http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiHtml#HowtoUseDivSpan. And using span- and div-macro is even more powerful.

(In [11892]): Fixes #1605, #5651,

• Use Genshi to construct span element.
• Removed padding around span element.
• Format wiki to html, allowing wiki markup to be used as the text argument to the Color macro.
