I am trying to get non-wiki-savvy authors to
contribute to a relatively new
wikibook (Emergency Medicine), and I need a macro which can easily convert
word documents with formatting (Heading1, etc.) into wiki markup. There are
macros out there for other types of wiki markup (I've attached one to this
email - it converts word to modwiki) but not for the kind of wiki markup we
use on wikipedia, wikibooks, etc. Can anyone point out an existing macro, or
can anyone tweak this attached macro?
Oh, also, is there a wysiwyg for wikipedia markup?
Would much appreciate,
Paris Lovett.

about such a macro on Wikitech-l:
I have created some simple Winword Macro that can
convert a win-word file
into wikipedia format.

Works rather well and serves most of my needs.
Following format-conversions are supportet:
Bold, italic, underline (any combination)
Dotted lists
Numbered lists
Paragraph 2 <br>
Headers
Colored text
Simple tables
Unsupported yet
Font-size
Super/subscript
Background-color
Footnotes
Pictures
Sofisticated Table-formats
?????
Asking your tyle of question on either Wikitech-l or MediaWiki-l would
likely be more fruitful than asking here.
Good luck with your wikibook!
