Texy! is a text tool written in PHP that translates a natural text markup mixed with HTML into a valid (X)HTML code.
JTexy aims to be a fully compatible Java implementation of Texy! markup language. Also see my original Java implementation suggestion.
2012-11-12: JTexy reached the point where it's actually usable, I've decided to release version 1.0.0. Available in the Maven repository. The Sandbox will be updated later.
Whole 1.x version can be considered as path to compatibility with Texy 2.0. When that is reached, 2.0.0 will be released and Texy 2.1 improvements porting will begin.
Converts a concise easy-to-write syntax like this
Title .[myHtmlId]{my-css-class1 class2}
============================================
Hello //world!//
How are you?
I'm fine. Look at my "blog":<a href="http://www.blog.cz/">http://www.blog.cz/</a>. And my photo: [* img/me.png *]</p>

to XHTML:
<p id="myHtmlId" class=my-css-class1 class2">Title</p>
<p>Hello <em>world!</em> How are you?

Looks like yet-another-wiki-markup, but (J)Texy can do much more - see here, try here.
-
Natural syntax, really easy to learn, see here: http://texy.info/en/syntax
-
All the usual:
- Headings, links, lists, images, horizontal lines
- Strong, emphasis, lower & upper index, strike, citation, inline code, acronyms
- Images support description, alternative text, onmouseover
- Tables, allowing syntax inside cells, header cells, spanning cells
- All constructs support CSS class definition, ID definition, alignment where available
- Code blocks (optional syntax highlighting by SyntaxHighlighter)
- Support for nested blocks of various types
- Typography improvements (dashes, non-breaking spaces, ellipsis, quotes, arrows,...)
-
Supports text mixed with HTML
-
Fixes the embedded HTML to be valid
-
Auto-generated document header and TOC available through API
- Faster: Texy: 4 ms vs. JTexy: 1.7 ms on the same input with the same output.
- Expected to be ~ 2.5 ms after implementing all modules.
- Configurable patterns separated from code
- Does not support nested blocks (yet)
See Wikipedia comparison (More later).

- Create a test suite
- Support recursive constructs - either by recursive regexs or code own.
- Implement the rest of the modules (in the order of numbers by the list above)
- Profile and benchmark.
- Introduce some "ParsingContext" class to keep information for whole document parsing process.
To run the testsuite, you need to set the jtexy.phptexy.ts.dir property in settings.xml, pointing to the testsuite dir:
c:/java/JTexy/JTexy-google/src/phptexy20/testsuite
c:/java/JTexy/JTexy-google/src/test/resources/cz/dynawest/jtexy/ts
c:/java/JTexy/JTexy-google/target/ts-output
