Thanks for the Reply.
Exporting from PBworks gives me one HTML file per entry. Most of the
entries are very straight forward text entries. Only a few have some simple
tables and images. Nothing very complicated. If the tables even get a
little messed up I can easily fixed that later because there are so few of
them. If you know of a automated import tool that can help that would be
great. Thanks again.

Hi Rob,
my company has done several migrations to MediaWiki before where HTML was
the intermediate format. There are HTML to MW converters as well as
automated import tools for MediaWiki articles.
I do not know much about PBWiki. From my experience with other systems,
though, you usually need to preprocess the data. Is the export one big HTML
file or one file per article? Is it easy to parse (e.g. does it have some
complex HTML structures and layout)? How about files, e.g. images (they
need to be imported separately).
If you could give me some more details I might be able to point you to
some scripts you could try.
Best,
Markus

Betreff: [MediaWiki-l] Move from PBwiki to Mediawiki
Does anyone have any tips on the best way to transfer a wiki from PBwiki
to Mediawiki? I have a large amount of entries that need to be moved. I can
export PBwiki to a HTML file. Thanks in advance.
Rob
