AcronymToLink Plugin

AcronymToLink Plugin

Have pages with lot of acronyms? Don't want to convert them to links one by one? Then grab this plugin; it will convert all acronyms to links!

On order to recognize word as acronym, it should:

• have at least two letters
• start with upper case letter
• end with uppercase letter or number.

Installation

Installation is not standard, but it is also not complicated:

• go to your web application directory and find xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/xwiki.jar
• unzip xwiki.jar using any ZIP-compatible archiver
• inside unpacked folder:
  • open radeox_markup_xwiki.properties
  • add anywhere

    filter.acronym.match=\\\\b\[A-Z\]\[A-Za-z0-9\]\*\[A-Z0-9\]\\\\b(?!\[^<\\\\[\]*\[>\\\\]\])
    filter.acronym.print=[$0]

    Warning: Double all backslashes, I cannot enter them that way
  • open /META-INF/services/com.xpn.xwiki.render.filter.XWikiFilter
  • add

    com.xpn.xwiki.render.filter.XWikiAcronymToLinkFilter

    before

    com.xpn.xwiki.render.filter.XWikiLinkFilter

  • put XWikiAcronymToLinkFilter.class to /com/xpn/xwiki/render/filter
• ZIP everything and replace original xwiki.jar
  Warning: Check that directory structure inside JAR file same as in original! Some archivers will add parent directory that will cause malfunction. Safest way to go is to enter directory and do the zipping rather than zipping top level directory.
