User:Diberri/HTML-to-wiki converter
 | The HTML-to-wiki converter has recently been moved to the Wikimedia toolserver. If you encounter problems, please report them here. Thanks, David Iberri (talk) 22:05, 15 March 2009 (UTC) |
There are several varieties of HTML-to-wiki converter out there, and mine is but one. It can be used to convert HTML into many different flavors of wiki markup, including MediaWiki, Confluence, PhpWiki, etc.
Usage[edit]
There are lots of different ways to use the converter.
Web tool[edit]
This little tool probably represents the most common usage:
The interface was updated on 2009-03-07 to be more intuitive. With any luck its usage is self-explanatory, but see Options below in case it's not. The old interface is still available at:
- http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki-old/ (link broken?)
Perl module[edit]
The HTML-to-wiki converter can be used programmatically via the Perl computer programming language using HTML::WikiConverter, a module available from CPAN.
Options[edit]
- Base URL
- (Optional but recommended.) An absolute URL on which relative URLs (eg, in links and images) should be based. Eg,
"http://en.wikipedia.org".
- Wiki URL
- (Optional but recommended.) An absolute or relative URL where wiki pages are found. Eg,
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"or simply"/wiki/"provided that the base URL is set to"http://en.wikipedia.org".
