Subject: Re: A wiki markup class

I wrote a little wiki for fun.

class LykiInterpreter
  def LykiInterpreter.interpret(pageBody)
    pb=pageBody.clone
    regExps =  []
    regExps << ['(?:[^=>]|\A)([A-Z]{1}\w+[A-Z]{1}\w+)','<a
href="?pageId=\1">\1</a>']
    regExps << ['^   [*](.*)$','<li>\1</li>']
    regExps << ['\r','<br/>']
    regExps << ['\[\[','<b>']
    regExps << ['\]\]','</b>']
    regExps << ['"""""(.*?)"""""','<b><i>\1</i></b>']
    regExps << ['"""(.*?)"""','<b>\1</b>']
    regExps << ['""(.*?)""','<i>\1</i>']
    regExps << ['\{\{\{','<pre>']
    regExps << ['}}}','</pre>']

    regExps.each_index{|i|
      regExp = Regexp.new(regExps[i][0],Regexp::MULTILINE)
      while pb.sub!(regExp,regExps[i][1]) != nil do
        puts "Sub #{pb}"
      end

    }

    pb
  end
end

Its not really robust or efficient, but it seems to work ok. the
syntax is from vqwiki, which I don't know if thats 'standard' wiki or
not. Creating the array and the Regexp objects each call is not clever
either :-)
