+
+Processors are WikiMacros designed to provide alternative markup formats for the [TracWiki Wiki engine]. Processors can be thought of as ''macro functions to process user-edited text''. 
+
+Wiki processors can be used in any Wiki text throughout Trac,
+for various different purposes, like:
+ - [#CodeHighlightingSupport syntax highlighting] or for rendering text verbatim,
+ - rendering [#HTMLrelated Wiki markup inside a context], 
+   like inside <div> blocks or <span> or within <td> or <th> table cells,
+ - using an alternative markup syntax, like [wiki:WikiHtml raw HTML] and
+   [wiki:WikiRestructuredText Restructured Text],
+   or [http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ textile]
+
+
+== Using Processors ==
+
+To use a processor on a block of text, first delimit the lines using
+a Wiki ''code block'':
+{{{
+{{{
+The lines
+that should be processed...
+}}}
+}}}
+
+Immediately after the `{{{` or on the line just below, 
+add `#!` followed by the ''processor name''.
+
+{{{
+{{{
+#!processorname
+The lines
+that should be processed...
+}}}
+}}}
+
+This is the "shebang" notation, familiar to most UNIX users.
+
+Besides their content, some Wiki processors can also accept ''parameters'',
+which are then given as `key=value` pairs after the processor name, 
+on the same line. If `value` has to contain space, as it's often the case for
+the style parameter, a quoted string can be used (`key="value with space"`).
+
+As some processors are meant to process Wiki markup, it's quite possible to
+''nest'' processor blocks.
+You may want to indent the content of nested blocks for increased clarity,
+this extra indentation will be ignored when processing the content.
+
+

+== Available Processors ==
+
+The following processors are included in the Trac distribution:
+
+ `#!default` :: Present the text verbatim in a preformatted text block. 
+                This is the same as specifying ''no'' processor name
+                (and no `#!`)
+ `#!comment` :: Do not process the text in this section (i.e. contents exist
+                only in the plain text - not in the rendered page).
+
+=== HTML related ===
+
+ `#!html`        :: Insert custom HTML in a wiki page.
+ `#!htmlcomment` :: Insert an HTML comment in a wiki page (''since 0.12'').
+
+Note that `#!html` blocks have to be ''self-contained'',
+i.e. you can't start an HTML element in one block and close it later in a second block. Use the following processors for achieving a similar effect. 
+
+  `#!div` :: Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <div> element
+             (''since 0.11'').
+ `#!span` :: Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <span> element 
+             (''since 0.11''). 
+
+ `#!td` :: Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <td> element (''since 0.12'')
+ `#!th` :: Wrap an arbitrary Wiki content inside a <th> element (''since 0.12'') 
+ `#!tr` :: Can optionally be used for wrapping `#!td` and `#!th` blocks,
+       either for specifying row attributes of better visual grouping
+       (''since 0.12'')
+
+See WikiHtml for example usage and more details about these processors.
+
+=== Other Markups ===
+
+     `#!rst` :: Trac support for Restructured Text. See WikiRestructuredText.
+ `#!textile` :: Supported if [http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/textile Textile] 
+                is installed. 
+                See [http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ a Textile reference].
+
+
+=== Code Highlighting Support ===
+
+Trac includes processors to provide inline syntax highlighting:
+ `#!c` (C), `#!cpp` (C++), `#!python` (Python), `#!perl` (Perl), 
+ `#!ruby` (Ruby), `#!php` (PHP), `#!asp` (ASP), `#!java` (Java), 
+ `#!js` (Javascript), `#!sql (SQL)`, `#!xml` (XML or HTML),
+ `#!sh` (!Bourne/Bash shell), etc.
+
+Trac relies on external software packages for syntax coloring,
+like [http://pygments.org Pygments]. 
+
+See TracSyntaxColoring for information about which languages
+are supported and how to enable support for more languages.
+
+Note also that by using the MIME type as processor, it is possible to syntax-highlight the same languages that are supported when browsing source code. For example, you can write:
+{{{
+{{{
+#!text/html
+<h1>text</h1>
+}}}
+}}}
+
+The result will be syntax highlighted HTML code:
+{{{
+#!text/html
+<h1>text</h1>
+}}}
+
+The same is valid for all other [TracSyntaxColoring#SyntaxColoringSupport mime types supported].

+
+Developing processors is no different from Wiki macros. 
+In fact they work the same way, only the usage syntax differs. 
+See WikiMacros#DevelopingCustomMacros for more information.
