Auto Link Wards Wiki

Dear MarkDilley, dear friends of WardsWiki as you know the Wiki of the inventor WardCunningham, you might appreciate a BookMarklet that allows you to write anywhere in the Web your text contribution (posting, comment, (micro-) blog, document) with a WikiTitle? and WikiWord s, copy and BiLink? it with a corresponding value enriched WikiPage. In this case we choose (imho) the most favorable Wiki for accumulating CollectiveIntelligence :-)

I am going to publish a special BookMarklet (alc2) that converts your text immediately in the browser view into a clickable WikiLike text. The bookmarklet additionally supports,

• lowerCamelCase with numbers for different programming languages
• German Umlaute

If you want to write a C2Compatible contribution anywhere in the Web, then restrict yourself to classical CamelCase as used in WardsWiki.

The Licence for alc2 is CcBySa, using the same licence as the WikiPedia.

Here it is (but you have to clean up from spurious insertions, we need something like <nowiki>...</nowiki>) :

  javascript:function alc2(){var WikiMap =  ['http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?','http://google.com/search?q='],i,j,k,len,llen,link,linkpatt,linkText,linkTextArray=[],msg,myArray,node,txt,href,a,reg,span,lastLastIndex,textNodeXpath,textNodes;textNodeXpath='.//text()[not(ancestor::a) and not(ancestor::head)and not(ancestor::option) and not(ancestor::textarea)]';textNodes=document.evaluate(textNodeXpath,document,null,XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,null);len=textNodes.snapshotLength;reg=/^\s+$/g;linkpatt=/\b(?:([a-z0-9äöü]*(?:[A-ZÄÖÜ_]|_)[a-z0-9äöü_]*){2,})\b/g;for(i=0;i<len;i++){node=textNodes.snapshotItem(i);txt=node.nodeValue;txt=txt.replace(reg,);if(linkpatt.test(txt)){span=document.createElement('span');lastLastIndex=0;linkpatt.lastIndex=0;try{while(true) {myArray=linkpatt.exec(txt);if (!myArray)break;link=myArray[0];linkTextArray=[link,'➜°',' ¹',' ²',' �'];span.appendChild(document.createTextNode(txt.substring(lastLastIndex,myArray.index)));lastLastIndex=linkpatt.lastIndex;linkText=myArray[1];link=myArray[0];llen=link.length;if(link.substring(0,2)==&&link.substring(llen-2,llen)==''){link=link.substring(2,llen-2);}for (j=0; j<Math.min(WikiMap.length,linkTextArray.length); j++) {href=WikiMap[j]+link;a=document.createElement('a');a.setAttribute('href',href);a.appendChild(document.createTextNode(linkTextArray[j]));span.appendChild(a);}}span.appendChild(document.createTextNode(txt.substring(lastLastIndex)));node.parentNode.replaceChild(span,node);}catch(e){alert(e);}}}msg='steno enabled with:\n'+'\nMainLink:'+WikiMap[0]+'\n0:'+WikiMap[1]+'\n1:'+WikiMap[2]+'\n2:'+WikiMap[3]+'\n3:'+WikiMap[4]+'\n:'+'\n:'+ 'Intermediate Webpages:'+'\n:'+document.location;}alc2();

For your convenience I put this bookmarklet on http://www.aypwip.org/webnote/AutoLink for reading, testing and using it out of the box. Disclaimer: Do it on your own risk. If you know to read Javascript, you can easily see, that you have full control over the targets.

If you like it drag the link AutoLinkWardsWiki there onto your bookmark bar of your browser and use it freely in your postings or comments in FaceBook, GooglePlus, etc. ...
