In my experience WYSIWYG wikitext editors make simple
things simple
and hard things impossible.
Completely agreed! But if we ease the entry point, people has less a
reason to initially reject the proposed environment.
During the last years I've moved from WordStar to WordPerfect to Word
to FrameMaker to/moving to LaTeX or any SGML/XML based solution. And
of course the WYSIWYG becomes just a piece of the whole puzzle. But
most of the people arriving to the team come from a Windows based
environment. A slightly more featured WYSIWYG environment should ease
the transition.
Mediawiki text->XML is already in MediaWiki,
isn't it? You'd need the
right XSLT to turn that into OpenDocument or any other XML format.
("the right XSLT" is a phrase like "simple matter of programming")
Probably I've missed something here. All I know is the Export Pages
Special page. But it seems intended to move a wiki article from a
wiki installation to another, but no XML tag is added to the body of
the article. It moves to the XML file with the original Mediawiki
tagging.
Please, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Best,
Ricardo
