I've been asking Goodle and Stackoverflow variation of this query:
Syntax highlighting of mediawiki syntax
almost without exception I'm getting hits referring me to the Mediawiki Extension:SyntaxHighlight page. Unfortunately that is the question in this case, not the answer.
I did find a hit on MoinMoin ironically that wiki has MediaWiki syntax highlighting.
What I'd like to be able to do is to use syntaxhighlight around some mediawiki page mark-up to demonstrate how different pages or sections can be set-up. For now I'm using the <syntaxhighlight lang="text" ... >.
I'd like either a suitable "wiki"-highlight option or an workable alternative that will highlight some wiki markup. Ideally it would be fantastic to say:
<syntaxhighlight lang="mediawiki" > ... </syntaxhighlight>
I am surprised that this hasn't been asked before though.
edit 2016-05-09:
As a work around I have settled on the following for the time being. It isn't as pretty as having the final tag inside the syntaxhighlight but it gets the job done:
== xml ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="text" highlight="1,11">
:<syntaxhighlight highlight="6" lang="xml">
<tomcat-users ...>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<user username="admin" password="****" roles="manager-gui,manager-script"/>
</syntaxhighlight>
<code><nowiki></syntaxhighlight></nowiki></code>
Which shows the closing </syntaxhighlight> tag outside the main box.
In the core, Extension:SyntaxHighlight uses Pygments, and it is extensible to make your own "syntax highlighting" or find a big set of other languages, take a look maybe you can find something useful, but I'm not sure that it will be something out of the box.

I am trying to write a web scraper using scrapy and xpath but I am experiencing a frustrating problem.
I need the text in a paragraph which has HTML
<p class="list-details__item__date" id="match-date">04.03.2017 - 15:00</p>
I might be wrong, but since the p has an id attribute, it should be referable simply using
response.xpath('//p[#id="match-date"]/text()').extract()
Anyway this won't work.
I know a little of xpath and I was able to write scrapers in the past, but this one is giving me troubles. I tried many solutions, but no one seems to work
response.xpath('//p[contains(#class, "list-details__item__date") and contains(#id,"match-date")]/text()').extract()
response.xpath('//p[#class="list-details__item__date" and #id="match-date"]/text()').extract()
I also tried using "contains" as stated in many answers, but it did not work as well. This might be a stupid mistake I am doing...it would be great if someone could help me!
Thank you so much
Maybe match-date is loaded via AJAX/JS ... Please disable Javascript in your browser and then see if match-date is there or not.
Also for seek of easiness, use CSS Selectors instead of xPaths.
response.css('#match-date::text').extract()
EDIT:
To get value of data-dt attribute do this
response.css('#match-date::attr(data-dt)').extract()
OR XPath
response.xpath('//p[#id="match-date"]/#data-dt').extract()
I'm willing to use microdata/microformat/etc. for the part of my website which is an online dictionary. Basically I just want to tag word and definition to help search engines to grab the most important data in every page belonging to the dictionary, and maybe have Google use them as "rich snippets" in results page.
Main problem is it's hard to find dedicated vocabulary for words and definitions (no problem for recipes, movies and hotels though) and I'm not sure if I have to use the "http://schema.org/Article" tree for my lexicographic work. (To my mind, it makes sense to tag something when it's specific enough).
I have found something interesting at Yandex, for words and encyclopedia, I want to ask what to do with. See there :
https://yandex.ru/support/webmaster/microdata/what-is-microdata.xml?lang=en
https://yandex.com/support/webmaster/microdata/term-definition-markup.xml
It looks like it is very close to my request. But I'm sorry I dont know what is Yandex... will it work with Google ?
I'm asking here if that page, from Yandex, is a working model, is still on use, what are the pros and cons ? Will Google be able to use the specific vocabulary from Yandex and understand my Yandex-tagged data ? is it worth using that vocabulary for an online dictionary, or is something else I have missed of better use ?
(http://webmaster.yandex.ru/vocabularies/term-def.xml, which should be the vocabulary url, gives me a 404).
One more question, please : am I allowed to write (duplicate) the most important data in the header, something like (I believe I am, because Google microdata testing tool prooves to be able to extract the data from that code) :
<html itemscope itemtype="http://webmaster.yandex.ru/vocabularies/term-def.xml">
<meta itemprop="term" content="My term" />
<meta itemprop="definition" content="My definition" />
Just to mention I was interested, though not happy with these close discussions :

schema.org and an online dictionary
Yandex is Russia's version of Google, and typically they both recognize and honor each other's search engine result implementations.
These articles you are referencing are incredibly outdated; I recommend you seeking out fresher sources, preferably where the term being defined uses the proper HTML element.
Here's the Yandex URL that is 404ing, the Wayback Machine is your friend!
Back to fresher documentation/resources, in this case the correct element as of 2016-10-05 is the <dfn> element. I know you want added semantics, but semantics is the proper place to start, and I'd follow that up by marking the entire dictionary up within a Definition List element, and placing the definition wrapped in the definition element into the <dt>, and the definition's of the term in the corresponding <dd>s.
I wouldn't waste time trying to find the perfect ontology here; implement [rel="tag" Microformat on all of the definitions], you can always come back and add a more desired one.
I've written a blog post about this, but a much more valuable resource is HTML5 Doctor's Glossary impementation, More importantly, view source - view-source:http://html5doctor.com/element-index/ (why stackoverflow doesn't recognize 'view-source' schema is beyond me)

I've got a rather large asciidoc document that I translate dynamically to PDF for our developer guide. Since the doc often refers to Java classes that are documented in our developer guide we converted them into links directly in the docs e.g.:
In this block we create a new
https://www.codenameone.com/javadoc/com/codename1/ui/Form.html[Form]
named `hi`.
This works rather well for the most part and looks great in HTML as every reference to a class leads directly to its JavaDoc making the reference/guide process much simpler.
However when we generate a PDF we end up with something like this on some pages:
Normally I wouldn't mind a lot of footnotes or even repeats from a previous page. However, in this case the link to Container appears 3 times.
I could remove some of the links but I'd rather not since they make a lot of sense on the web version. Since I also have no idea where the page break will land I'd rather not do it myself.
This looks to me like a bug somewhere, if the link is the same the footnote for the link should only be generated once.
I'm fine with removing all link footnotes in the document if that is the price to pay although I'd rather be able to do this on a case by case basis so some links would remain printable
Adding these two parameters in fo-pdf.xsl remove footnotes:
<xsl:param name="ulink.footnotes" select="0"></xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="ulink.show" select="0"></xsl:param>
The first parameter disable footnotes, which triggers urls to re-appear inline.
The second parameter removes urls from the text. Links remain active and clickable.
Non-zero values toggle these parameters.

We were looking for something similar in a slightly different situation and didn't find a solution. We ended up writing a processor that just stripped away some of the links e.g. every link to the same URL within a section that started with '==='.
Not an ideal situation but as far as I know its the only way.
I am getting data from a broken RSS feed that gives me wrong link. I wanted to fix this link so I made this code:
<link.*>(.*)&.*tid(.*)</link>
and the link could be like:
www.somedomain.com/?value=50&burrrdurrrr;tid=120
But the real working link is in this form:
www.somedomain.com/?value=50&tid=120
The thing that I'm asking is if my measure thing looks like this:
[FeedURL]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[Feed]
StringIndex=2 ;now I only get www.somedomain.com/?value=50
Substitute=#SubstituteFeed#
How am I supposed to concatenate the strings together to complete the url?
I'm guessing rather than &burrrdurrrr;, the link has &, which is how you have to write & in an HTML or XML file.
If that's the case, you just need to set the DecodeCharacterReference option, as described in this handy-looking tutorial. Another option mentioned there is Substitute, which would be able to strip it out even if it really was &burrrdurrrr;.
None of this is a particularly sensible way of dealing with HTML or XML - a much better approach would be a plugin which actually parsed the document structure and let you reference nodes using XPath or CSS rules - but you work with what you've got, I guess. (I've never heard of this "Rainmeter" before, despite its claim to be "the best known and most popular desktop customization program for Windows"; maybe because nobody else calls their program that, instead almost universally using the word "widget"?)
GeShi is a syntax highlighting tool used by projects and vendors like MediaWiki and pastebin.com, respectively.
However, GeShi does not natively support MediaWiki markup syntax. What would be the closest "look alike" that I could use to highlight a MediaWiki template?
I doubt there is any. MediaWiki's syntax is a bit unique. It's more than just markup language for creating single text documents, it's for creating whole sites. The difference is relations between documents: linking, redirections and embedding one into another (templates).
BTW creating good syntax highlight for MediaWiki syntax is not possible, and all this because of templates. For example:
{{{!}}
! a !! b
{{!}}}
Above would be completely valid table on the English Wikipedia because {{!}} resolves to |, so exclamation marks in second line should be highlighted as in table, but you can't tell that if you're not able to resolve templates. (However not-that-good highlight could be found in Vim).
