Just a quick question, did you try using the pandoc markdown parser?

It'd be useful to know if that was enough for printing and generation of wiki content. Though being GPLd, it'd also be nice to have a BSD-ish licensed wiki parser/pretty printer.
No, I did not. In fact I didn't know about this project, but it looks very interesting. I'll definitely go and look at the code. One of the reasons I started worked on a MediaWikiParser was because I wanted to use the Haskell language and some of its tools rather than just read about them. I'm not really interested in making a clone of something that already exists just for the sake of ideology (although personally I'm much more fond of BSD-style licenses than of GPL). On a side note: are there any lexer/parser generators out there I should be aware of? As mentioned in my original post I've tried using Happy, but I was unable to understand its very concise error message 'parE'. It would be really nice to have a tool that generates an AST automatically (e.g. something like ANTLR). Regards, Niels
