Where is the wiki formatted text converted to html?

Question

I need to find the main function in MediaWiki where wiki text is converted to html. Does someone know where that is?

Answer 1

This is done by a set of functions within the following file:

includes/parser/Parser.php

The list of functions, their actions and purposes are detailed within that file.

(Was easily found by searching through the MediaWiki source code for "nowiki" which is a distinct piece of the markup language.)
