[Mediawiki-l] XML Import Strips Markup Formatting

[Connolly, Wayne]

Hi all,

I just installed Mediawiki 1.7.1 on our intranet and imported
successfully 206 pages - however after import each page has had its HTML
markup completely removed.

<h2>Some Title</h2> and <p>Some Text</p> are all that was used as
markup. I have added the FCKEdititor as a exstention and written a
custom LDAP extension after all the others failed, otherwise the
mediawiki is stock.

I have confirmed this by viewing and exporting the imported pages. 

In order to do the import I firstly exported a existing page - copied
the format(I removed the namespaces - which is the only difference) and
then combined all of the pages in to one xml (separated by <page> of
course).

It imported all perfectly - but without formating.


What am I doing wrong?

Below is my xml import the subsequest export code.

<mediawiki xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3/
http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3.xsd" version="0.3"

After importing the export produces a stripped file.
