Figlet Extension

Integrate figlet text into wiki pages using figletlink in a custom Mediawiki extension:

Syntax

<figlet>text</figlet> (default font=standard)

<figlet font=fontname>text</figlet> (set another font)

<figlet>$fonts</figlet> (show font list)

<figlet font=$self>$self</figlet> (special for template usage, $self=pagename)

Example

<figlet>moo</figlet>

<figlet>moo</figlet>

Result

<figlet font=digital>moo</figlet>

Example

<figlet>$fonts</figlet>

Result

<figlet>$fonts</figlet>

For all fonts also see Category:Figlet

1. Figlet Mediawiki extension

4. by mutante 25.03.2005
5. modded again 21.05.2005 ,mutante
6. modded again Owl & mutante 20.06.2006 - the slightly more secure 23 line version

1. extension hook callback function

1. install parser hook for <figlet> tags
