Standalone parser: how to?

Hi,

I seem to remember there was a recent question on obtaining an instance
of a JSPWikiMarkupParser, and now that I'm trying to do exactly that it
seems there isn't any way to do so...

There's only one constructor for the class and that requires a
WikiContext, which throws an IllegalArgumentException if either the
WikiEngine or HttpServletRequest are null, which seems like an
insurmountable barrier. It seems like there a number of places where
one would hit an NPE on reference to a null m_engine. What to do in
those cases where the WikiEngine seems necessary is of course unknown.

Anyone been able to create a parser without a WikiEngine or HTTP
server? I am running this as an embedded application but I'd like
access to a parser when neither the WikiEngine nor Jetty are active.
Another alternative would be to create a dummy WikiEngine outside of
the context of Jetty.

Thanks,

Murray
