Use a configurable Alphabet to generate backlink markers in Cite (Parsoid)
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

For reference see T383216: Use a configurable Alphabet to generate backlink markers in Cite (legacy) and the work done in [1]

Implementation details:

  • Adapt the code introduced in [1] to be reusable between Parsoid and the legacy parser.
  • Should be backwards compatible with the current mechanism where a i18n message is used: the PHP configuration feature flag will switch between numeric+legacy-i18n backlink markers, or the entirely new mechanism.
  • Add tests

Stalled to get a clear opinion on the priority, since we realized that this task needs to be prepared by introducing explicit backlink markers to Parsoid.

Exasperating detail is that the legacy code paths don't have enough information to choose between numeric or legacy i18n markers, since that's controlled by the choice of dollar variable in yet another i18n message. I'm considering having Parsoid only follow the new code paths...?
