Hello Magnus,

If you don't write the converter for its own sake,
you might want to
participate in the current efforts to set up a wiki-to-XML parser. You
can then import XML into your application, which will be a lot easier
than any converter.
Well, I think I'd better present my idea.
My idea was an XUL [1] web application which gets the wiki markup from
the Wikipedia server and does a transformation to XML. It then displays
the XML using XSL.
The idea - i call it WikiFox although it should also run under all other
browsers that use Gecko layout engine [2] -
requires a working wiki-to-XML-converter written in JavaScript.
There are also some other problems I am confronted with at the moment -
see [3].

PS: I just noticed that I have sent this message to Magnus, not to the
list. Why is there suddenly no Reply-To header in Magnus's message?
