[Chicken-users] New/updated eggs: stream-wiki, stream-parser, stream-ext, html-stream

[Alejandro Forero Cuervo]

Hi.

I have gradually improved most of the eggs I maintain.  Today I
prepared a few for release so everyone can benefit from the
improvements.

I also decided to release a new egg I've been working on that I've
found very useful: stream-wiki.

It renders information from a wiki format to HTML.  The wiki format
supports all the basic things plus:

- Supports syntax coloring for 60 programming languages/file formats
  (using GNU Enscript).
- Allows you to embbed Scheme in the wiki (uses sandbox egg)
- Tables and all sorts of lists.

The actual syntax it uses is described in:

  http://cgi.afc.no-ip.info/svnwiki.cgi/defwiki/wiki-syntax

I decided to implement this as an egg apart from svnwiki since, in my
opinion, all web applications that require the user to enter some text
(such as forums, for example) should let them use wiki syntax.  I am
currently using the egg in svnwiki (a Subversion powered wiki system),
svnblog (a system for making web logs: the syntax for the posts is
wiki) and some less important programs.  Its nice. :)

stream-wiki is based in stream-parser, some other egg I'm making for
creating parsers for streams (of characters, usually).  The
stream-parser egg is probably under-optimized and I haven't got time
to document its interface.  I'm publishing it merely because
stream-wiki depends on it.

The files for the eggs are available in the following locations.
Those ending in .html are the documentation while those ending in
.scm or .egg are the actual eggs:

  http://tmp.afc.no-ip.info/eggs-for-felix/html-stream.html
  http://tmp.afc.no-ip.info/eggs-for-felix/stream-ext.html
  http://tmp.afc.no-ip.info/eggs-for-felix/stream-ext.scm
  http://tmp.afc.no-ip.info/eggs-for-felix/stream-parser.egg
  http://tmp.afc.no-ip.info/eggs-for-felix/stream-parser.html
  http://tmp.afc.no-ip.info/eggs-for-felix/stream-wiki.html
  http://tmp.afc.no-ip.info/eggs-for-felix/stream-wiki.scm

Feel free to add the new eggs and the updates to the official eggs
page when you get time, Felix!

Thanks! :)

Alejo.
