Auto Sub Plugin

Plugin designed to substitute links (or any other formatting) for wiki-words and non-wiki-words alike.

Macros

Gives the ability to do substitution of text in a wiki document, which may include things like:
  1. Automatic formatting of keywords
  2. Automatic linking of keywords
  3. Translation of keywords

AUTOSUB{...} -- define text substitutions for wiki pages

  • Parameters:
    Parameter Description Default
    name Text to auto-replace none, required parameter
    fmtMacro Replacement text. May be a wiki macro, however, the wiki macro being substituted may not encorporate other macros. If this is done, the wiki will complain to the administrator. none - no substitution

  • Syntax: %AUTOSUBS%
  • %AUTOSUBS% generates a table in place containing all links/substitutions known to this plug-in, which are only those in the topic page in which this macro appears and any included topics.

NOAUTOSUB{...} -- disable a text substitution for a wiki page

  • Parameters:
    Parameter Description Default
    name Text to auto-replace none, required parameter

If a link/substitution has been defined for the text specified by the "name" parameter, this will prevent that text from being substituted in the page on which this macro is used.

This may be useful if, for example, a list of AUTOSUB macros is used on a topic being included on a page where the including topic does not want the substitution to be made.

AutoSubPlugin Settings

You can override the default settings as documented in preferences. These preferences can be set in your SitePreferences, or in WebPreferences, or in individual topics.

Preference Use to Default
AUTOSUBPLUGIN_DEBUG Enable debugging output, which is stored in files in the plug-in's work area on the server and is not accessible via the web 0
AUTOSUBPLUGIN_PROTECTED Specify HTML or HTML-style tags to be protected from substitutions by this plug-in "pre noautolink dot verbatim plantuml"

If the protected tags value is changed, it is strongly recommended that pre and noautolink remain in the list, at the beginning and in that order.

Examples

Examples can be found in AutoSubPluginExamples.
