Sorry for being so unclear. Markdown in this case is text formatting system that is quite popular <http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax>. But what I'm looking for is something that will allow me to strip PmWiki syntax from the stuff I've written and generate plain text. Even better would be a something that generated slightly formatted text. Example: -------------------------------------------------------- This is just [[http://www.example.com/|example]] just to show you ''what'' I want @@to do@@. Now for a list: * This is short list just to show you how different things * looks like. It's probably easier to show with an example like this And now for a citation -> Something interesting more text ------------------------------------------------------- If it was possible for PmWiki to generate this, I would be satisfied ------------------------------------------------------- This is just example just to show you what I want to do. Now for a list: * This is short list just to show you how different things * looks like. It's probably easier to show with an example like this And now for a citation Something interesting more text ------------------------------------------------------- I would be very pleased if PmWiki could generate formatted plain text like this ------------------------------------------------------- This is just example(1) just to show you what I want to do. Now for a list: * This is short list just to show you how different things * looks like. It's probably easier to show with an example like this And now for a citation Something interesting more text (1) <http://www.example.com> ------------------------------------------------------- >If you are looking for plain text with markup stripped out then you may want >to look into Hans's ExtractText with the markup=snip option.

I could of course write a short python/perl script to do the translation but it would be so much nicer if I could do if from PmWiki directly. jem -- Jan Erik Moström, www.mostrom.pp.se _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
