Problem
I have a statement like this
<dpl> category=Mycenean </dpl>
Now some of the pages in the category are subpages so I get a display like this
* Greek/Mycenean * Greek/Mycenean/Texts * Greek/Mycenean/Writing * Greek/Mycenean/Writing/Syllabary
I would like them to appear as an hierarchical listing
* Greek ** Mycenean ** Texts ** Writing *** Syllabary
N.B. That [[Category:Greek]] would have further subpages [[Greek/Writing]], [[Greek/Dialects]] and whatever which shouldn't appear in a listing of category=Mycenean, but [[Greek]] itself should, as the top page in the category=Mycenean hierarchy is itself a subpage of that page.
As for constructing code which translates the current wikitext into the desired one this Perl regex does the trick,
except that they don't add the [[Greek]] top node (There would need to be some check to see if the category named in a category= parameter is itself a subcategory and if so add the supercategory/-ies):
s{^\*[ ](\[\[.+?([^/]+)\]\])}{
$l = $1;
$c = ($l =~ s#/#/#g); ## Count the number of slashes in the link and add 1.
$l =~ s#([^/]+)\]\]$#$1\|$1\]\]#; ## Copy link text
"\*" x $c ." ".$l; ## Print out the right number of asterisks and the link
}egm;
This is the concept. A bit harder of course if done on HTML rather than wikitext.
