[Mediawiki-l] Extension:ImageMapConversion

[Michael Daly]

I previously released this program as a stand-alone utility.  Now I have 
added it as a Special Page extension:

<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMapConversion>

This special page will take an HTML image map file local to a user's 
computer and convert it to the format required for use in a wiki's 
<imagemap> extension.  It is aimed at those who use either Tim 
Starling's ImageMap extension or my ImageMap (Alternate) extension.

This special page will take a file that is:
- An HTML web page containing an image map
- An HTML file compatible with Shannon McNaught's ImageMap extension
- An HTML file created by an image utility such as GIMP that generates 
image map statements.

The output can be copied between the <imagemap> tags on a page and then 
modified to fix the URLs to be compatible with the wiki (if required).

This can also be used to convert a wiki from using McNaught's version of 
imagemap to one of the newer versions.
