Hello all,

I have been doing some research on doing the wiki to docbook conversion, however I think it is tricky because you would have to infer a lot of semantics to get Docbook out of wiki markup.

Wiki-markup is decidedly presentational, which means that we can transform it quite effectively into other presentational markups (PDF, non-strict HTML), but not so effectively into semantic markup.

There is a comment somewhere else by an Atlassian employee saying that a docbook export functionality would require each macro to support docbook. Therefore docbook would never be supported. I think this is a valid point, although i don't like that either.

I have found one other alternative that might by valuable to us: APT. http://www.xmlmind.com/aptconvert.html

We could export our wiki markup (it already looks a lot like APT) and then use APTConvert to transform it into HTML, XHTML, PDF, PostScript, (MS Word loadable) RTF, DocBook SGML and DocBook XML....

What are your thoughts on this manner?
