Now, I know I can write myself a `format()` parser that would do this on all pages in my own plugin, but then it would need to be adapted to all markups, while markup formatters should be the ones implementing this directly, if possible.
-My first use case for this would be to extend the [[plugins/contrib/osm]] plugin to tap into those lists, so that I could have this data in the page, visible to the user:

Then for us running the humongous [[koumbit wiki|https://wiki.koumbit.net/]], it is a necessary step to be able to migrate away from MoinMoin to Ikiwiki as we have a lot of pages that tabulate information like this. For example, see our [[ServerList|https://wiki.koumbit.net/ServerList]] ([[source|https://wiki.koumbit.net/ServerList?action=raw]]), being generated from pages like [[this one|https://wiki.koumbit.net/metis.koumbit.net]].
-If there are no objections to that concept, I may try to start coding patches. Otherwise this is really just a [[wishlist]].

> Have you looked at the [[plugins/contrib/field]] plugin? This gives you the infrastructure, and all you need is to write a plugin that parses the definition list format. Then you could use [[plugins/contrib/getfield]], [[plugins/contrib/ftemplate]] and/or [[plugins/contrib/report]] to do what you like with the data.
