Introduction

The idea is to be able to download directly a portion of code as a file.
I've numerous code examples in my wiki and I wast an easy way to download them, easier than a copy/paste!

  • It must work with pre, nowiki, js, css, code, source, so let's make it general: take the tag that comes after the parser function we'll create and select data up to the closing tag.

2 parts:

  • the parser magic word that will be converted into a "Save it as <filename>"
  • an extended action=raw that will strip the raw output to keep the desired code

Syntax

{{#rawsnippet: myscript.sh}}
Do we need a MIME type?
Transformation:
[{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|action=raw&filename=myscript.sh}} save it as myscript.sh]
Test: save it as myscript.sh

#!/bin/bash

echo 'Hello world!'
exit 0
