Description
XWiki Page Preview displays a popup when hovering internal wiki links, as illustrated hereafter. The application consists of a page which returns an HTML preview of a given page. By default, it is called automatically for the .wikilink and .wikiinternallink CSS selectors on all pages of the wiki on which it is installed.
Technical notes
The script returns a JSON object containing:
- The rendered content of the page corresponding to the path given as parameter in the request.
- The relative URL of the first image attached to that page, if any.
A typical input / output consists of:
- Input: /XWiki/PagePreviewer?path=/xwiki/wiki/sandbox/view/Sandbox/&xpage=plain&outputSyntax=plain
- Output:
"html": "<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amor.</p>",
"image": "/xwiki/wiki/kuava/download/Sandbox/WebHome/XWikiLogo.png?rev=1.1"
}

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions
We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.
You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:
- Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
- Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
- Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
- Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
- You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki
