I wrote an HTML to wikitext conversion tool for migrating RoboHelp to wiki
format - it was a lot easier to create than I thought it would be. I don't
have it posted anywhere, though ... it requires babying when it runs. Only a
developer could love it. :-) Any good developer who knows internet APIs,
html and wiki formatting could create such a tool. It took me about 3 hours
for the first iteration.
The architecture is two apps - an OLE server with an embedded browser and an
app to run the conversion and instantiate OLE server instances.
while looping through folder with files {
if Image, create an OLE server object and upload it
If html page
parse for bold, italic and convert to wikitext
parse for links
open linked page and get the <title></title>
convert to [[title]]
parse tables
parse lists
remove practically every other tag
In some cases, I move popups that use <div> tags to below where
the popup can be selected, and other misc stuff - that's why it's a "hands
on" conversion
sometimes use keywords in the page to categorize, otherwise use
manual, folder-based categorization
}

Hi
First I would like to thank you all guys for providing quick solutions to
all my questions.
Now I am facing a new problem and I am sure someone will come up with a
solution for this too :-)
I have requirement in which I have to convert MSWord format to Wikitext.For
this I first convert it to HTML which is quite easy.
Then I need to convert HTML to wikitext.Is there any way to do it?
Please suggest guys.
Thanks and Regards,
