Wiki Goodies for Trac
Description
This plugin extends the Trac Wiki in several ways:
- Support for displaying smileys, as in MoinMoin, with a few exceptions (no flags, "priority" smileys are renamed {p1} instead of {1} in order to be compatible with report: shorthand links)
- HTML 4.0 entities (named entities and numerical entities)
- Automatic replacement of common text idioms by their corresponding symbols (e.g. arrows, fractions, etc.)
- Simplified markup for single words:
*this* /is/ _important_
becomes this is important - Replace <name@domain> with "mailto:" links (obfuscated if needed) (0.11 only - though that's now in Trac core)
- Replace
... UNC paths with "file:///" links (0.11 only)
Each feature can be disabled individually if needed.
Install
See generic instructions in Trac:TracPlugins#InstallingaTracPlugin.
Enable
If you need to enable the plugin in the trac.ini, use:
[components] goodies.* = enabled
Usage
There are 3 new macros that can be used to conveniently display all the newly introduced markup.
Simply copy&paste the following wiki snippet somewhere into your Wiki (e.g. in WikiFormatting):
- Note
- the argument below - between '( )' - is the number of columns to be used in the displayed table.

More about UNC path support
Turning off the UNC paths transformation might be seen as a security measure and if someone can demonstrate that this feature presents a security risk, I'll disable it by default in future releases. But here, the "file:" links are user-oriented and can't possibly be embedded in a <img> tag or Javascript code, so I don't really see what could be the risk, and I think it's OK to enable this feature by default.
Firefox doesn't do anything with the file:
links, but
users can use the LocalLink plugin
(install).
Alternatively, I use the "Open Link in Ext.App." contextual menu entry provided by the IETab plugin (install), and this works great.
Local Paths
Using IETab within Firefox even allows you to use links local paths
(say, S:\Public\File.txt
) by using the equivalent UNC path \\?\S:\Public\File.txt
,
which is recognized as a link by the plugin and will be opened correctly by IETab
"Open Link in Ext.App.".
Note that S:\Public\File.txt itself isn't recognized as a link (and probably
will never be, as that will conflict with one letter InterTrac prefixes) and
that the file:///?/
file link produced by the plugin are not
understood by IE7 or IETab plugin "Open Link in IE Tab" (I haven't tested the LocalLink plugin).

WikiGoodiesPlugin: oops, five slashes were really needed for UNC path to work with Firefox's LocalLink plugin... \
I only tested the previous changesets (four slashes) with Chrome's LocalLinks one.
Now it works for both browsers with those plugins (and also for IE9 without plugins!)
