Anyone written an MS word/javascript macro to convert to/from MS word format? I was just thinking it might be kind of cool to be able to pop the code of the page out into word, where ==Level 2== would be converted into the Heading 2 format and so forth. It might even be able to embed images within the article.
Then, when you were finished editing, it could convert it all back again.
Stupid idea? :)

Well, not really stupid, as we had people trying to upload Word documents but complicated. Word is a propietary format. Data is quite binary and there's no public specification. The format has more-or-less been reversed so prograsm as OpenOffice or AbiWord can work with it, but there're still issues, specially the embedded objects (images, equations...).
Maybe it could be done with RTF. Easier of course with OpenDocument http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/wiki2xml/w2x.php ;) BTW Magnus, your page says it's able to export to PDF but there's not such option in the tool. I think you used the XML export to then PDF it but i found no references about how to do it. Maybe you should explain it at the page.
