VE does a pretty good job for one-off conversions.
I'm looking for a tool that non-technical staff can use for converting
large numbers of docs into mostly usable wikitext. I don't know without
more (recent) research whether Pandoc or LibreOffice supports better
conversion. Just wondering if anyone has setup something like this or knows
of its existence.
Thanks,
Greg

You can paste rich text into the Visual Editor. The
wikitext it
produces usually needs some cleaning up afterward (bold headings,
inconsistent list markup, etc), but it's probably the easiest for
non-technical folks.

And alas, there's nothing found on ToolHub for pandoc either.
