    Description

      When editing a page with BlockNote we are currently converting (server-side) from XWiki 2.1 syntax to Markdown, and then from Markdown to UniAst (client-side). The poses some problems:

      • it's slower than if we went directly from XWiki to UniAst
      • it adds a few external dependencies to contributed XWiki extensions
      • Markdown is very limited so we lose some information in the conversion process.
      • It's not possible to protect the macro output without relying on HTML

      We already implemented the UniAst parser/renderer server-side so we just need to use it.
