excel-to-html? O_OOO
>Why not just copy-paste into for example wikEd (google://wikEd)? :-))) Not that
beautiful, but it works.
Now, I will demonstrate what I mean by "Corporate needs are different." :-)
With our extension, the Excel spreadsheet is rendered "live" in the wiki page.
So if somebody updates the spreadsheet (on a network drive), the wiki page is
automatically and instantly up to date! This is totally different from a one-time
copy-and-paste, and much more maintainable. (And it's pretty fast too, with AJAX and
good caching.)
Even better, if your spreadsheet generates a graph or chart, the image gets embedded
in the wiki page too, and is automatically kept up to date. And if your spreadsheet
calls out to a database for its data, to generate the chart, then the wiki is updated
when the database changes too! Suddenly, MediaWiki has all the charting capability of
Excel + SQL. This is very powerful and definitely worth $10K for a highly analytical
company like ours.
We've had this feature for about 2 months, and so far we have 350+ articles with
embedded spreadsheets, updated "live."
As an aside, you could almost certainly do this cheaper with
WorkingWiki. If you can write a make rule to retrieve the Excel file
from the network drive and make it into html and image files (and maybe
a little wikitext to format the page), you're done.
