  I haven't implemented this, but I think your best bet is (a) a pre-processor that replaces wiki links with Markdown links, or (b) JavaScript to achieve a similar effect but in the template/output. You can use thearchive://match/<WIKI LINK HERE> to simulate clicking a wiki link from outside of the app.

  Hi there,

  I do this using a preprocessor, just as @ctietze suggests.

  Try the following ruby script, which strips the wiki link syntax, and adds the Markdown links. I had some help from the Marked developer when figuring this out, so credit goes to Brett Terpstra for this:

  #!/usr/bin/ruby
  require 'uri'
  
  def class_exists?(class_name)
    klass = Module.const_get(class_name)
    return klass.is_a?(Class)
  rescue NameError
    return false
  end
  
  if class_exists? 'Encoding'
    Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8 if Encoding.respond_to?('default_external')
    Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8 if Encoding.respond_to?('default_internal')
  end
  
  begin
    input = STDIN.read.force_encoding('utf-8')
  rescue
    input = STDIN.read
  end
  
  input.gsub!(/\[\[(.*?)\]\]/) do |m|
    match = Regexp.last_match
    "[#{match[1]}](thearchive://match/#{URI.escape(match[1])}.txt)"
  end
  
  print input
  

  Hope it helps!

  Just to add, you won’t need the .txt here! A relic from a prior version…

  Amazing! Thanks for the script - It works

  Hi! I'm a long time lurker around here, and this is my first comment.

  I'm trying to modify the script posted above to make tags clickable in Marked in addition to WikiLinks, but I've had no success. Has anyone done this? I've tried the following, and some variations, but all have failed.

      input.gsub!(/\#(.*$)/) do |m|
      match = Regexp.last_match
      tag = match[1]
      "[#{tag}](thearchive://search/#{URI.escape(tag)})"
      end
  

  I will appreciate any help or pointers.

  @m_g What happens instead?

  After some more experimenting, I managed to come up with a solution. Below is my modified version of @mjknght's Ruby script that makes tags clickable in Marked, in addition to WikiLinks.

      #!/usr/bin/env ruby
      require 'uri'
  
      def class_exists?(class_name)
        klass = Module.const_get(class_name)
        return klass.is_a?(Class)
      rescue NameError
        return false
      end
  
      if class_exists? 'Encoding'
        Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8 if Encoding.respond_to?('default_external')
        Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8 if Encoding.respond_to?('default_internal')
      end
  
      begin
        input = STDIN.read.force_encoding('utf-8')
      rescue
        input = STDIN.read
      end
  
      input.gsub!(/\[\[(.*?)\]\]/) do |m|
        match = Regexp.last_match
        link_target = match[1]
        "[#{link_target}](thearchive://match/#{URI.escape(link_target)})"
      end
  
      input.gsub!(/#(\w+)/) do |m|
        match = Regexp.last_match
        tag = match[1]
        "🏷 [#{tag}](thearchive://search/#{URI.escape(tag)})"
      end
  
      print input
