Hi Parsoid Support Team,
I am reaching out to you to know about the usage of this tool. We have a
very old version *1.17.5* of Mediawiki in our organization and want to
convert the pages of it to html pages and store it on disk for archiving.
As you know internally Mediawiki stores pages as WikiText.
Can parsoid (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid) help us here? I also
saw the documentation of VisualEditor extension (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor) which uses parsoid internally
to convert wikitext pages. Which tool among these 2 should we use to do my
job? Can you please suggest? can parsoid be used as a standalone
application or tool instead of VE?
If we use any of them do we need to just provide the url of our Mediawiki
page (example - *https://<our_dns_host>/wiki/TestPage* or do we need to
extract the content from DB which is in WikiText format and feed it to
parsoid for converting it to html page?
Thanks
