Help:WordToWiki

Here are some tools that may be helpful in converting Microsoft Word files to wiki markup:

• Word2MediaWikiPlus: Converts text, tables and pictures into wiki format.
• Word to TikiWiki
• Word to Confluence Converter

The conversion can also be done using a two step process using Perl. This requires the following software:

• HTML::WikiConverter
• wvWare Word to HTML(?) converter

doc2mw:

 #!/bin/bash
 #       doc2mw - Word to MediaWiki converter
 
 FILE=$1
 TMP="$$-${FILE}"
 
 if [ -x "./html2mw" ]; then
         HTML2MW='./html2mw'
 else
         HTML2MW='html2mw'
 fi
 
 wvHtml --targetdir=/tmp "${FILE}" "${TMP}"
 
 # Remove extra divs
 perl -pi -e "s/\<div[^\>]+.\>//gi;" "/tmp/${TMP}"
 
 ${HTML2MW} "/tmp/${TMP}"
 rm "/tmp/${TMP}"

html2mw:

 #!/usr/bin/perl
 #       html2mw - HTML to MediaWiki converter
 
 use HTML::WikiConverter;
 
 my $b;
 while (<>) { $b .= $_; }
 
 my $w = new HTML::WikiConverter( dialect => 'MediaWiki' );
 
 my $p = $w->html2wiki($b);
 
 # Substitutions to get rid of nasty things we don't need
 $p =~ s/<br \/>//g;
 $p =~ s/\&nbsp\;//g;
 print $p;
