Hi devs,
Most of the devs know about the new xwiki-rendering engine which provides the support for the new xwiki/2.x syntaxes, and the old Radeox-based rendering engine which provides support for the xwiki/1.0 syntax, but I wonder who knows about the Oro-based wikiwiki engine that provides support for an even older undocumented wiki syntax? That one has been in the oldcore sources before I came in contact with XWiki, and it has been disabled for a very long time.
One thing that we still use from that basic rendering engine is the support for {pre}{/pre} code escaping, and that one will have to be preserved even if we remove all the rest.
The advantages of removing it include: - less ancient, unused, buggy code -- thus slightly less PermGen memory required and faster startup - one less Oro dependency (a long term goal is to remove Oro and ECS from our dependencies) - fewer WTFs from people stumbling over that code
Does anybody know of any users of that syntax? Is anybody still running 0.1.x versions?
I was using XWiki since 0.9.x and I have never know about this. So +1 if there is no impact on 1.0 syntax.
