Wiki Creole is a common wiki markup language to be used across different wikis.

creole/c is a Wiki Creole parser and a HTML converter. It implements Wiki Creole 1.0 and almost all of its additions. There is a cheat sheet available in PDF format.

The parser is written in C++ using flex and has a simple and flexible event driven plain C API. The converter is a stand-alone console application, needing no additional runtime installation.

What's Inside?

The binary distribution currently is for Windows only. It is linked against the static C run-time lib, thus no further installation should be needed - just unzip the download. It contains:

bin/creole.exe

The Wiki Creole to HTML converter. This is a console application, see here for a manual page.

bin/creole.dll

The creole/c parser as a DLL.

lib/creole.lib

The link library for the creole.dll.

lib/creolelib.lib

The creole/c parser as a static link library.

include/creole.h

The header file needed for the creole/c parser. The parsers API is documented in doc/api/creole.chm.

It shouldn't be difficult to build the converter and parser on other platforms than Windows, see here.
