Hi Rob!
There is a conversion script by Borislav Manolov and Magnus Manske:
https://toolserver.org/~magnus/html2wiki.php It does a good job when the markup is simple.
There has to be a download version somewhere, too.
The other way would be to write a little maintenance script which processes the HTML using
php's DOMDocument or SimpleXML and produces WikiText. That's a little more work to
do, but when you have a uniform source html it's not too hard and delivers pretty good
results.

Betreff: Re: [MediaWiki-l] Move from PBwiki to Mediawiki
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
