Re: [WikiEducator] converting to mediawiki syntax
In the past, I have used a plugin for OpenOffice that exports to MediaWiki. It has been a couple years since I used it. As I look now, I see that LibreOffice has built this function into the core software (see the Wiki Publisher item on this page: http://www.libreoffice.org/features/extensions/ ) I would guess, but am not certain, that this is an update of the same basic feature. I believe this means that if you use a recent version of LibreOffice, you can simply choose export and then MediaWiki to export a text document; or if you prefer, you can link it to your MediaWiki site so it will publish directly. My memory of this feature is that it works well, but is in many cases more chatty than would be desirable: it inserts far more tags than one would like, specifying things like font, font color, font size, precise width of columns in tables, etc. My solution was to run a series of Regular Expressions on the output, but it was an annoyance to have to do so. I hope this helps; please report back on what you find, I would be interested in how this feature has evolved.

If you do not see the option for wiki under the file menu - send -, try look for the wiki-publisher extension in your software installer. If you are using Ubuntu use synaptic install the extension. After you install this extension you should be OK. I use fedora, I have to look for wiki-publisher extension from their software installation app. -- Nagarjuna -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.

One way of doing this is by using the note pad and save it by selecting the type of file you may want to use It as.then you may be able to copy and paste from the saved file.
