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.
