Alternative parsers/de
Diese Seite ist eine Sammlung von Links, Beschreibungen und Statusmeldungen der verschiedenen alternativen MediaWiki-Parser-das heißt, andere Programme und Projekte als MediaWiki selbst, die in der Lage oder beabsichtigt sind, den Text-Markup-Syntax von MediaWiki in etwas anderes zu übersetzen. Einige davon haben einen recht engen Verwendungszweck, während andere mögliche Kandidaten sind, um den etwas labyrinthischen Code zu ersetzen, der derzeit MediaWiki selbst steuert.
Viele der hier verlinkten Seiten sind wahrscheinlich veraltet und werden nicht ausreichend gewartet oder sogar aufgegeben. Um jedoch nicht die gleiche Arbeit immer wieder zu wiederholen, schien es sinnvoll, das zusammenzutragen, was "da draußen" existiert. In addition, although so many alternative parsers exist, almost no unofficial parser powers any wiki site, except for Parsoid which powers some Wikimedia Foundation wikis, and wikitextparser which powers the OpenTTD wiki through TrueWiki.
Parser, die einen Abstrakter Syntaxbaum (AST) erstellen und den Zugriff darauf ermöglichen, sind unter #Parser, die einen AST bereitstellen aufgeführt; Parser, die keinen AST erstellen, jedoch einige Informationen extrahieren, sind unter #Parser, die einige Informationen extrahieren aufgeführt; die restlichen Parser sind unter #Andere Parser aufgeführt.

Ein Nicht-Parser-Dumper
One of the common uses of alternative parsers is to dump wiki content into static form, such as HTML or PDF. Tim Starling has written a script which isn't a parser, but uses the MediaWiki internal code to dump an entire wiki to HTML, from the command-line. See Extension:DumpHTML. This has been used (years ago) to create the static dumps at https://dumps.wikimedia.org
There are also similar dumpers as part of the Kiwix project, for example mwoffliner, and you can query the RESTBase API to obtain HTML-format output with semantic information (such as tranclusions) included.
